I'd Like to Hear Irish People Speak About It More

The irish come to be racialized as white in a way that none of those other groups do. So i would say it's whiteness that does that. We're able to look at our own history and see things like the penal laws, things like the famine, and go, well, places like nigeria were colonized too. Why can't we have empathy with people from those countries rather than identifying with the system of oppression? Yes?
