I think we could improve this article by including more perspectives from the peoples being "Americanised". — Preceding unsigned comment added by Paolorausch (talk • contribs) 04:42, 9 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This sentence in the article is plagiarized:

"About 3,000,000 of the foreign-born over ten years of age were unable to speak English and about 1,650,000 were unable to read or write in any language. Close to half of the foreign-born populace were males of voting age; but only 4 out of every 1,000 of them were being educated to learn English and about American citizenship. "

Here is the original:

"About 3,000,000 of the foreign-born over ten years of age could not speak English and about 1,650,000 could not read or write in any language. Nearly 50 per cent of the foreign-born population were males of voting age, but only 4 in every 1,000 attended school to learn our language and citizenship."

Removing these lines:[edit]

"The Irish who competed with African Americans for unskilled work and who were themselves labeled as "white niggers" espoused racism as part of their self-definition, as did other immigrant groups. European Americans quickly learned that the worst thing one could be in this Promised Land was "colored," and they distanced themselves as best they could from this pariah population."[5]

Please support these statements with research that is more contemporary and outside the field of "ethnic studies". Scholars who have written about Irish-American social history reject the view that anti-Irish sentiment can be understood through the lens of "race" (see, for example, the work of Kerby Miller or, for an alternative view, the late anthropologist Reginald Byron). Thus, the argument that the Irish were labeled "white niggers" (by whom?) is untenable. It was religion, not "race", that formed the basis of Irish-American ethnic separation from the dominant culture.

Similarly untenable is the assertion that the Irish "espoused racism" as part of a process of assimilation into white culture. That's preposterous in light of the fact that, once again, it was religion and not 'race' that hindered their mobility.Jonathan f1 (talk) 04:33, 3 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
