The Irish were (are) colonized. They were originally an out-group, but were subsumed into "whiteness" at a later point in history.

Vampirism represents this assimilation.

The Irish today are some of the most respectable people against colonization. Just see their solidarity with Palestinians.

To paint them as colonizers seems wrong and offensive
