I remember reading in Mark Twain’s “Roughing It” of the common phrase, “No Irish need apply”.

Or Blazing Saddles', "All right... we'll give some land to the n-----s and the ch---s. But we don't want the Irish!"

“No Irish need apply ...”

My Hispanic co-workers were shocked, shocked I say, to learn about such history.

Also learned at recent family reunion that one of my aunt’s great=aunt’s fabricated a huge amount of family history relating them to English gentry. Instead they were a mixture of English and Irish working stiffs.
