Does anyone know how I can read up more about what black irish means? All my family are Irish and are white and have black hair, I even have an afro, it's always confused me as I know most irish people have brown or ginger hair, I heard it's something to do with spanish or gypsies, dos anyone know?
Black Irish is ment to be an insult to Irish people mostly towards Irish Catholic's cause we were treated like crap when we came to the US. The term is an American slang word not used in Ireland. It can also be used for a person who has dark hair and is Irish like myself. Really we are sort of a mix of Celtic and Viking so are look varies from light hair to dark hair.
Also a study has recently shown that The Irish and Scottish and men from parts of Uk share a common ancestor with the Spanish Basque people's, This could explain the dark hair. look up Irish people in wiki :)
@Ric0908 only the irish and welsh are basque but the rest are germanic are scandavaina im from northen ireland im not basque i have blonde hair and blue eyes so do most of the people i know.
@Liam2621 its simply southern irish are basque spainish and the spainish mixed with africans so and northen parts of ireland britian and europe are scandavaina are germanic blonde hair blue eyes are green im from northen ireland.
Howcome there's so many posts saying Irish black have black hair?? lol I live here and it's mostly light brown....... not that it's important, just thought i'd put that out there
my god!! irish people dont say laddie!! NO ONE says laddie! celts had black hair and pale skin with blue eyes and had the recessive red haired gene but irish people are a mix of Normans, Celts and Vikings XryacZyrac...you should be called IDYOT_Irysh_Diaspora_Laddie....
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
its called black irish, becuase they have dark hair, and not as light skin, this is because of the spanish armada that came to ireland left survivors who fucked the irish girls there, as well as suggestion thats ancient ireland, was dark hair and so forth untill the viking invaders came and fucked all the irish girls and brought their genes to ireland.
there are a few theories but one would be of the dark hair and eyes characteristics. but then again it might be a play of the words and double meaning :) really love the show, touching and heartbreaking at the same time~
