Babajobu 14:13, 6 December 2005 (UTC) Category Seeing an influx of Irish-Catholics in the major developed areas of American society was perceived as a threat to their environment. The dominant class in America during this time was Anglo-Saxon and Protestant. Irish were portrayed as dogged-looking leprechauns with hellish red hair and were characterized as being "subversive" by nature. in the 19th Century and early 20th Century.
Jbull 03:20, 6 December 2005 (UTC) Jbull, the "political and religous purposes" are in reference to the Anti-Irish immigration attitudes in the U.S. I have no idea what "political and religious purposes" you are talking about. The real "subversion" has been the (American) conventional wisdom that all Irish are pale skinned and light or red-haired. There are a lot of Irish people with dark hair and dark complexions, and there always have been. The occurrence of dark skinned Irish, especially along the west coast of Ireland, is significant enough to warrant further investigation. There is no doubt in my mind that much historical information about the Irish has been subverted and obscured over the centuries for political and religious purposes. My father must be a myth then as he was born into a farming family near the West Coast of Ireland and is darker than most Spanish/Italians.
You neglected to look at mtDNA, also, shame on you! I can prove beyond any doubt that not only did the Spanish Armadas leave men behind, but women as well.Shame on you for calling this a myth!!!! -The preceding unsigned comment was added by 168.68.129.127 ( talk Yeah, this Myth accusation is baseless!! take it out.
BLACK HAIR BROWN EYES FEMALE MEXICAN SKIN
Most Irish have brown, blonde and red hair and mostly blue but also green or gray eyes with a very pale, freckled skin tone.

While at it, can't we remove the racist term Caucasian? To the best of my knowledge and heritage, none of the Irish came from the Caucasas Mountains in Eastern Russia. it is best posted as an ethnic diversity in ireland category. but should any of you want to keep it in place.
