Do you consider Irish people white?

[Albion]

English play the bad guys. Fact! Them or the Russians.

We do both. Americans like to play the hero and have a Southern English person as the baddie, but when Americans have finished making themselves look good the Southern English are second only to Americans as heroes in movies.

I was told by another member that Irish people are not considered white, do you agree/disagree with this, and do you think they are of a different race to other Northern Europeans. Obviously I think they are completely white, but I'd like to see what the general opinion is.

What a stupid question! All people of predominantly European descent are White! What nonsense are you talking about? You Irish people have the palest skin tones in the solar system! Ha!ha!ha! You are known to have a hard time tanning, that's why your women love fake tans. Then if you're not White, then who is?

[Septentrion]

Yes, they are white, if they aren't nobody is. Also, they have a Celtic-based culture, the master Atlatic culture, the culture of Iberians and British who conquered the world.

No, Brits are not Iberians!!

Who would you consider whiter?

Fake tans on Zeta Jones, nice she looks so pretty.

Whiteness

1.)Irish, Scottish, Welsh, northern English ( these people have the highest frequency for skin type 1 and also the greatest number of genes responsible for red hair and freckled skin)

2.) Northern Europeans ( English, Icelanders, Scandinavians, Balts, Dutch, northern Germans, northern Russians, northern Poles, Belgians) ( this group has the highest frequency for blond hair, still tans more than those in group 1).

3.) Central Europeans ( French, Austrians, Poles, Russians, Swiss, Czechs, Hungarians) ( intermediates)

4.) Southern Europeans ( Italians, Spaniards, Portuguese, Bulgarians, Serbs, Greeks, Albanians, etc...) ( highest frequencies for skin type 4 in Europe)

They weren't Irish and they don't post anymore. It was a she and I think she had North African ancestry and was born in England.

I'm not even sure of the meaning of terms such like "Caucasian", "Negroid", "Mongoloid", "Australoid". This concept is still used for statistic*al purposes but is rejected by modern science.
And there's no clear border anyway: look at Wadaad, nobody will deny he's dark-skinned like a SSA. But his facial features and his hair are clearly Caucasoid.

That's because he is half Eurasian half SSA, like most Horners. The problem is people's ignorance and misconceptions, not science or genetic.

The Irish are the same race as the British, just simply a different ethnicity. In fact if the Nordic element concerns people you will find that they have a far higher portion of Viking ancestry than most people in the British Isles. It makes me laugh hearing racist Anglo-Saxon anthropologists thinking that their race was purely Tuetonic when it is now well known that this is not the case.

[Dross]

They are the palest people out there.
