Methinks that someone is only considering the most current issues to be "serious."

From what I have read, the attitudes towards the Irish were driven by specific religious groups and not wide spread. More sectarian in nature and not widespread. In other words the "signs" and trash talk were sourced from pockets of ethnic groups.
Like future black man digging up some Neo Nazi paraphernalia (Records and news clippings) from Wisconsin to support the claim that there was wide spread racism in the early 21st century.
