'Yes, I'm Irish': A series exploring the experience of mixed race Irish people

'When you walk into a room, people stared at you. People came up and touched your hair.’
This is just one experience of a mixed-race Irish person growing up in Ireland - Oona Colin, a seamstress from Cork - who we spoke to as part of TheJournal.ie’s ‘Yes, I’m Irish’ series.
The attitudes encountered have changed starkly over recent decades, but problems still remain.
We got their thoughts on the Ireland of today, comparing it with the one they grew up in.

    Would you consider my daughter Irish? I’m Irish, I know I am, my family left less than 200 years ago. It’s a long time but they were there living and breathing the same air you breath now, ploughing the same lands. She less Irish than me.. I chose a donor who was tall red hair green eyes and freckles. Good strong Genes too. She’s 9 and already 5ft tall is thin and has bright new copper penny red hair a beautiful freckled face, and smart is as a whip. But, surprise surprise from her donors dna. Nigerian .. not a lot passed to her. It doesn’t show up. But she has ancestors from Africa. I’m 100% European. Mostly Irish and Scottish with a bit of the other isles thrown in. You would probably say I don’t belong in Ireland either, because I wasn’t born there. Land doesn’t belong to people. Especially one that can be called a Home Land. You want someone to have good skills to be able to come to what you call your country , before you think they’re allowed. And not your skills because you might lose your job if they’re better. If they can’t have the skills already there then they bloody better be a god because that’s the only way they could do something that no one in Ireland could do. It’s ridiculous, ancestors of the Irish in America didn’t think they needed better skills that what was already there. They moved because they wanted to.. for some reason or another they said it was their right to move and they did. They weren’t American , yet they moved where they wanted and here we Irish descendants are in America. Because your ancestors were happy where they are , doesn’t really make you more Irish than me or my family. Genetic dna means our parents did the nasty. Being born and raised in Ireland with Irish DNA , and it makes me unpopular, but they are Irish. Not in looks maybe but in blood. They bleed Irish blood. Unless you believe Irish blood isn’t strong and the African blood kills it. Anyways , I may not believe what you believe.. and I respect everyone, but I am sorry we can’t all love each other. My beautiful Irish lass has been taught to love all colors. She sees them, knows they’re a bit different, but she’s been taught that we’re all fundamentally the same. Do a DNA test and watch the migration of your family from 20 thousand to 65 thousand years ago. It won’t start in Ireland, my Maternal Haplogroup was L3, descendant la of an African woman who’s descendants mainly stayed in Africa save for one small group that ventured out. And yet here I am 65.1% of my dna from Celtic, Saxon, and Viking. It proves nothing to say I was born in Ireland. Or I was born in America. And that make you that. Someone very “Irish” might do a dna test and find he’s mostly French or Swedish. Long story short.. do unto others as you would have them do unto you and love thy neighbor. Peace ;-)

    100%. Sure those people who came over to plant Ulster in the 17th Century were just looking for a better life for themselves and their families too. They're as Irish as anyone, if not more so - they just still prefer the Union Jack after 400 years away from their Auld Sod. Didn't take them long to treat the natives like second class citizens, just needed to get a decent number of new arrivals organized first. Welcome the immigrant masses with the alien cultures and religions, that's what I say! What could conceivably go wrong.

    I think people tend to forget that "WE" are a big village and it doesn't matter the color of your skin or in which country you're born "WE" are ALL related one way or another. I was born in the Dominican republic and in my believes I was a mix of African/Spanish/and some local indigenous people. But, after doing my DNA I found out that I am a mix of 18 differents nationalities. Including 9% Irish. it turns out that my origins are more Portuguese than Spanish. How I see the world today is not much different than how I used to see it before but, now everytime I meet a person I think from which side of the family this person may come from. I think that Ancestry DNA test should be obligatory. Then people will think before they start acting in a foolish way against other people.

    I agree with your overall message but the problem is that it’s a naive view of the world. Humans like all animals are instinctively tribal and band together off the most identifiable trait, how we look. You may be 9% percent Irish but because you assumingely don’t look Irish (being mixed) and aren’t raised in Irish culture (being Dominican) no one Irish is likely to accept you as one of their own. They don’t associate with your phenotype and don’t recognize your culture as their own, this doesn’t mean you can’t find things in common like football or other interests but you still will never be widely considered Irish

I think it is okay for those people to identify themselves as Irish but it is another thing for the others to agree with them or not. Also some of the comments here sounds very dangerous to me. Instead of having healthy discussions, labels like racists are placed so recklessly. It is easy to put labels on things because you don't have to think no more.

    the Vikings landed in Canada around 1000 A.D. The Vikings referred to the lands south of their settlement in Vinland as “Irland it Mikla,” or “Greater Ireland.” Scotia or the land of the Scots is a term used by various Roman and other Latin writers, who referred to Irish raiders as Scoti. Some of the earliest mentions are in the 5th century, St. Patrick calls the Irish "Scoti", and in the 6th century, St. Isidore bishop of Seville and Gildas the British historian both refer to Ireland as Scotia. It was a term that exclusively referred to Ireland up until the eleventh century when modern Scotland was first referred to as Scotia. But even up until the sixteenth century, many Latin writers continued to refer to Ireland as Scotia. From the twelfth to the sixteenth century, various scholars used to distinguish between Ireland and Scotland by using Scotia Vetus or Scotia Major meaning Old Scotia or the Greater Scotia for Ireland, and Scotia Minor or Lesser Scotia for Scotland. Following the Norman invasion, Ireland was known as Dominus Hiberniae, the Lordship of Ireland from 1171 to 1541, and the Kingdom of Ireland from 1541 to 1800. From 1801 to 1922 it was part of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland as a constituent country. I live south of Newfoundland in a place called Ireland in 1000ad . You live in a place that wasn't called Ireland untill 1171. Isn't it funny that some modern Irish people don't view us as Irish over here when in fact THIS IS IRELAND .

Biracial people are hybrid humans, which means that they are genetically / biologically a combination of two different races in one. When they take an ancestry DNA test it will mention the country Ireland in it. So scientifically they are part Irish.

    I'm approaching this objectively, very objectively, I don't claim to be Irish by the way; I never desired to be or felt connected to Ireland. But my great grandfather is from Ireland and it can be said they arrived on Ellis Island in NYC, Their surname is O'Regan. With that being said, I do have respect for the nation of Ireland, it's people and their struggles, yes I do. However, I also have much honor for the struggles of my African and Native American (Amerindian) ancestors. I do own my connections to Native Americans because those ancestors of mine where the first nations of the U.S., as one who wants to respect all of my heritage and accept people, I acknowledge my heritage. I know that having a heritage doesn't automatically make you belong to that nation unless you were born there. But as one with First Nation roots of the Americas, who am I to tell those of European descent they don't belong in the United States? Irish Americans are Americans now too! In fact, you can say that just as many Irish are nationals of the United States, and Latin American countries combined more than those in Ireland now. Chile, a country I've lived in, celebrates their Irish history there (O'higgins). Reading the comments I try to understand all sides. But really, there are a lot of mixed Irish people too in Latin America and the U.S. due to migrations. They are no less citizens of the United States than Native Americans right. So my deceased dad is half Irish, but along with him I celebrate my Puerto Rican heritage, siempre..., but I have love for my grandmother, so all respect to the people of Ireland. God Bless You!

    Shaterra Gardner race is biological. It’s because of each races unique genetic traits that tests like ancestry dna and 23 and me can narrow down specifically what country and or region you are from Solely from a sample. There’s a biological reason you can tell a black person apart from a white person by just looking at the two groups

    Irish is a nationality a place of birth, has absolutely nothing to do with being CAUCASOID RED BEIGE ORANGE PINK or NEGROID CHOCOLATE DARK BROWN BLACK. The modern Irish Éire evolved from the Old Irish word Ériu, which was the name of a Gaelic goddess. Ériu is generally believed to have been the matron goddess of Ireland, a goddess of sovereignty, or simply a goddess of the land. Being born in Africa, the Middle East, America being born in Australia, being born in Ireland Island in the region of Europe, being born or brought into the ALMIGHTY'S Earth speaking any language, does not determine Bloodline Seed Tribe Soul Composition-Disposition.

They'd probably speak English without an accent, and have little to no experience with the culture of their ethnic background This would be like asking a white American where are they from, and demanding to know if they either have Irish, German or Polish ancestry. It's a bit inconvenient or rude if the person was clearly raised in the country you were asking them ( in this case Ireland ) "what's your ethnicity" would probably better be suited If the person is clearly foreign born, speaks with an accent, I don't think asking where they're from would be rude.
