(User Info | Send a Message) | Look, not to say that I know what the prevalent thought in the 1800s was, but you must realize that people did at one time actually think the Irish were a bunch of degenerate barbarians.
are you familiar with Jonathan Swift's "A Modest Proposal", where he proposes that the Irish resort to cannibalism in order to right their issues with the potato famine? I realize that he was taking a sarcastic tone, to Swift's credit, but there were people back then who probably thought that way.
