Does black Irish mean African Irish decent?
"Black Irish" is a term invented in America to explain away darker Irish people who don't fit the American stereotype. Irish people often don't understand the term. The Irish, Welsh, Scottish, and many English are actually descended from Iberian migrants who colonized the British Isles around 10,000 years ago. There are indeed Africans living in Ireland today, so the term now becomes ambiguous.
