And the Irish famine was not primarily caused by potato crop blight, it was due to England forcibly exporting their agricultural production. I just recently was made aware of this.

The Irish were just another group of "ni&&ers" to the English aristocracy and much of the rest of English society. They were one rung above the black race in the minds of most. Many Irish were taken or sent to the new world as either indentured servants, pure chattel or later recruited as cannon fodder for the Armies of the Union. England did to Ireland what Stalin did to Ukraine during the Holodomor. Nice folks!
