black Irish are just regular Irish people with dark (black) hair and sometimes dark eyes. It might be indicative of pre-celtic genetics, since there is some evidence settlers came to Ireland from modern day Spain.

Or her dad, if one of the biological parents had some ancestry they weren’t admitting to. It says she was the youngest of 10 at the time of her adoption, so I wonder if these other sisters have both the same parents or just one. I’m thinking same mom for sure, because the sister on the right is a dead ringer for their…

It’s not the skin i’m talking about. It’s her facial features. I’m lighter than lots of Mediterranean people but i’m still considered “black”

It’s possible it came from further back than both her parents. There was a case in South Africa many years ago where a black girl was born to a white couple, and blood tests confirmed that she was indeed their daughter, and there was no knowledge of any black family members for at least 3 generations.

My grandma was black Irish and she just looked like a white lady, cause she was.

THANK YOU. I have lots of very random allergies, and explaining that I am allergic to hypoallergenic products confuses some people. It usually just means they took out a common allergen. Hypoallergenic earrings, for example, usually means they don’t have nickel. That doesn’t help if you’re allergic to the silver they…

Not that I’m calling the long lost family members bigoted but I find people who mention the color purple (heh) in discussions about race are almost always the type of racist who keeps their bigotry under wraps.

I really don’t think it was meant that way. Woman of all different ‘levels of hotness’ (terrible way of putting it, sorry!) get street harassed and should be allowed to complain about it sometimes without it necessarily meaning they think they're super sexy

Calm down with the alarmist language. Embryo selection is lightyears away from “genetically engineering babies”

What’s bizarre is the notion that having a boy and a girl makes for the “complete” parenting experience. Boys and girls are people, not some kind of pure representatives of their sex. It’s such BS. That’s why, for example, people who have two boys and trying for a third kid are always asked if they are trying for a…

Yay for the vaccine. But I really just came here to post this.

Duuude. You gotta be careful with edibles, bro!

The misuse of “bias” for “biased” confounds me. I just started seeing it in the last few years.

Enjoyed the heck out of this article!

Did you miss watching it? That’s okay! It wasn’t very good!

I watched all of this show, even when I hated it!

If this must be done, then Megan Hilty or bust. No Katharine McPhee allowed.

I’d rather they somehow make a “Smash” musical with all of the music they wrote, not just from “Bombshell”. The music for their other fictional play was really good too.
