Black Irish

Yes.

[laughs] The whole, like, Black Irish, Black English bl- you know, it's like, yeah, that's what they're talking about.

Yes.

And there's a lot of Welsh as well.

Yeah.

But like, how much comedy can you get out of Black Irish?

The Spanish survivors thus become a lens through which we can examine early modern maritime law, local power struggles, and cross-cultural exchanges in 16th century Ireland.

Even today, the memory of these wrecks survives in place names like Spanish Point or folklore about Black Irish ancestry, an enduring legacy that continues to spark debate among scholars.

Thanks for listening.

We're black.

Oh, sorry, you got black Irish as well.

Black Irish.

From what I hear, but no one really accepts them.

Oh, see, it's not only America.
