Racism of Scientific Classification Against Irish

Описание: The Irish weren't just discriminated against—they were scientifically classified as a separate, biologically inferior race in the 1800's using the same pseudoscience that justified slavery. This is the racial oppression history erased.
In the mid-1800's, British and American scientists published research classifying Irish people as racially inferior genetically closer to apes than Anglo-Saxons. Leading anthropologists created racial hierarchies ranking Anglo-Saxons at the top, with Africans and Irish at the bottom. Harper's Weekly and Punch magazine published cartoons depicting Irish with ape-like features sloped foreheads, protruding jaws, long arms—identical to racist depictions of Black people.
Scientific Racism: British scientists measured Irish skulls, declared them "prognathous" (jutting jaws), and published studies claiming Irish Celts were evolutionarily primitive. This pseudoscience was taught in universities, published in medical journals, and justified Britain's genocidal famine policies.
American Oppression: Irish immigrants faced "No Irish Need Apply" signs in jobs, housing, schools, and churches—systemic exclusion based on racial classification. American newspapers called Irish "white chimpanzees," doctors claimed they had smaller brain cavities, and politicians argued Irish immigration threatened "racial purity."
The Lie: History claims Irish faced "prejudice, not racism"—but they were classified as biologically inferior in the same medical journals justifying slavery.
The Legacy: Irish fought for generations to be reclassified as "white" in America. Tragically, some Irish Americans joined oppressing Black Americans to prove their whiteness and escape racial categorization.
The Truth: Racism isn't just about skin color—it's power using fake science to justify oppression. The Irish were declared a separate, inferior race, and history spent 150 years erasing the evidence.
