Irish ladies are another example of Anglo-Saxon / English mongrel genes turning girls into walking lumps of shit.
Bad teeth, posture, bird like features, freckly skin, they are a mess. It's a fucking shame too, because you see some of the more 'pure' Irish girls, the ones with the black wavy hair and blue eyes and they are unmatched in Europe, you wouldn't pick them for either northern or southern European.
Ireland is one of the most genetically homogenous countries in the world, I don't know where you're getting any notion of this mongrel genes stuff. The only substantial immigration to Ireland has been in the last 15 years, and even then most of it has been from other European countries. The population is still 96% white and European as of the 2011 census. 'Pure' Irishness is the average Irish look of light brown hair, blue eyes, and pale skin - the 'black Irish' look of dark hair and sallow skin is a myth not born out by actual demographic facts.
Understand your point bro, but homogeneity is a very subjective term. Sociologically speaking, "Irish" as a nationality probably came into existence after the English had colonised most of the country. Before then, the Island has seen its original Briton inhabitants overruled by the Celts (who didn't change the gene pool), the Norse (who injected many people, mainly men) into the population, the Norman French and finally the English.
But yes, "Black Irish" is anecdotal, however it is not without merit. The original inhabitans of Ireland were more than likely dark haired, olive skinned people. I would associate this look with men like James Nesbitt, Liam Neeson etc. anyway off track.
