@Wadtucket they were. they were never banned from marrying white anglo Saxon Protestants which they would have been if they were considered non white, and they were never banned from white only unions
have you seen Irish people? No one is mistakingly calling them black
Are you serious? It was illegal for a very long time while the British enslaved them lol
Also it’s very easy to differ Irish people from a Russian or a Swede as well so only pin pointing Africans is kind of stupid.
