Oh,I am well aware of the discrimination against the Irish. (I am more than 3/4 Irish blood.) But I don’t have any personal recollection of the Irish discrimination, and there is nobody alive who remembers that.

The racial discrimination is much more recent. Those classified ads appeared in the 1960s.

I certainly agree. And it can be argued that the racial discrimination was much worse than the old ethnic discrimination, as the racial discrimination sometimes lead to violence.

But I think it’s important to point out that discrimination was very widespread. That’s something you already knew, but it’s also something young people need to know.
