Irish are whiners? There is a very good reason that the Irish who came to Boston voted Dem and it was JOBS JOBS JOBS. Please read at least something credible on the history of the Irish in Boston before you accuse them of being whiners. All grandparents born in Ireland and came here after 1915 ish ... all worked, even the women. Never heard a complaint, ever in my life from any of the relatives. All worked hard, bought and took care of property and educated their kids. Please learn the history of how Boston College started out.
The Irish young coming over to the USA today are products of a socialist Europe and very different from the Irish of 100 years ago. But still, I do not hear them whining.
My brother married into a family of Irish expats.
When they go home to visit they lament that since Ireland joined the EU the work ethic, and pretty much everything else productive about the culture, has gone down the tubes.
What you say is true but I would also say that the Irish immigrants of the 19th century were the inner-city blacks of today. Incredible criminality among the lower class of Irish. Just check a rogue’s gallery of NYC at the time! All Irish. Billy the Kid was the rule, not the exception, lol.
