Scotch-Irish means that the Scotts were brought into Ireland and Wales by the English to ‘pacify’ the area. That is where the term Black Irish comes from. Further most marriages involved people from the same general area. Again this is not unusual in areas where people from the same areas would move into together. Think the Irish areas of Boston, the Italian areas of NY and Boston, etc.

My Scottish great grendfather was born in British Ireland, which is now Northern Ireland, I think. But my father always said he was Scotch-Irish. I found out something interesting though recently. My father and mother are both descended from Wm, Bradford, the governor of the Mayflower Colony through two of his grand children.

Interracial marriage is not frowned upon by white race. For white people, as long as your spouse is white, you’ll be okay. There are exceptions such as aryans other more secret societies such as pilgrims off the mayflower or self actuated groups

For other ethnic groups marriage out of ones race becomes more difficult and in some almost impossible. it’s difficult but not surprising to see jews, asians and Black and white in interracial marriages. But interracial marriages between certain sects of East Indians becomes an invitation to be murdered. Stoned, Burned for public participation murders and clubbed to death or perhaps 20lb shoes and tossed in a lake for more private or family affairs.

Wrong! The "black Irish" are believed to descend from the Iberian Peninsula, from which the Spaniards/Portuguese may have traded with the Celtic Irish on the west coast of Ireland. (Open a map and you will see that the Iberian Peninsula is directly south of Ireland.) Indeed, the Iberian Peninsula and Ireland share similar types of neolithic archaeological sites. And the "black Irish" have a slightly darker complexion and often have the "hook nose" that is common among Iberian descendants.

“Think the Irish areas of Boston”

I guess you haven’t been to Boston in a while.
