So, the English are calling the Irish Neanderthals.
Surprise, surprise.
:^D
Only thing is the REAL Irish aren't red-headed and freckled. Ireland gets that from the viking invaders. Turns out the real Irish are the Black Irish: Dark featured, but still rather pale skin and rather short.
George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Patrick Henry, General Daniel Morgan, Alexander Hamilton, General Layfayette, And countless other Revolutionary War heroes and patriots were ALL REDHEADS.
Exactly what I was thinking. I love red hair!
