I wouldn't mind being an Irish lad back in those days. Monogamy was strong under the Irish but I wonder how long that would have hold up when the every lad has his lass and some hearts are left unattended.

just wondering does anyone know the history of interaccial relationships between irish immigrants and freed black or black immigrants, apartnely we were all put in one sector of the community and both cultures made 'tap dancing' a cross of irish and black culture, l also believe that the first wave of mixed race children (that werent forced to breed to make) came from these 2 groups, as an lrish person (in lreland) the black community and its cause means alot to me and in my life ive been protected against prejudice by some very powerful black people

25% of my ancestry is Industrial Revolution era urban French & German immigrants. I have evidence of French citizenship and citizenship to the German Nations of Hesse, Swabia, and Baden-Wuttemberg. ("Germany" was not a nationality in 1850 when they arrived. Those were all individual Nations) As well as those people who were citizens of France in the Alsace/Lorraine region who were predominantly of German heritage and spoke both tongues, further blurring the lines between what is properly French vs German.

What happened to the European immigration now??? By the way nobody says no immigration at all anymore they just say it's too much now.

I am a Muslim, Tajik. If you come to my country as a tourist, we will meet you cordially and try to be hospitable, but if you come to Tajikistan forever, then I will be against it. Tajikistan is a country for Tajiks, I want my children to grow and study with their nation. I am ardently defending and respecting traditions. Our man is the main man in the family, and that was and will be. I am not against other cultures just not in my country. I wish you to return your home
