and don't even attempt to play the 'you don't understand because you haven't gone through what i have' card, i've experienced plenty...

Just one last point , you do know there are probably loads of Irish superheroes in MU? Heres what I mean. Racism is illogical but racism again'st the Irish is probably one of the most stupid forms. Alot of the people being abusive to the Irish probably have Irish blood in them.

Also some people who are not considered to be Irish may have originally have come from Ireland. If you know you're footbal we have a footballer called Micheal Owen, I could be wrong but I think Owen is an Irish name. Im quite sure Rooney is Irish. Some comedian was complaining that Rooney should be playing for England.

Im quite sure Regan is an Irish surname. That probably means Ronald Regan was orignally from Ireland. Obvoulsy I have not done a check on the surnames of superheroes but there are probably loads with irish surnames.

Anyway I know you're not bothered but I just thought id bring it up, I was thinking about it the other day. *shrug*

There are about 3... but out of my favourite heroes, one is american, one is russian, and one is kryptonian... ethnicity doesnt mean much to me as long as the characters are good...

Rooney's grandmother is irish i think... i could be wrong though...

That just means that they're ancestor was possibly irish, not them...

Ok...

*cough*astonishingxmen*cough* 😛

personally, I do not care what the race of the comic character is. I am hispanic and the only thing racial in comics that I do not like is when a character is stereotypical or if a hero is a minority so therefore all of their arch-nemesis are of the same minority race. That is weak. Spiderman has arch-villians of all types and he is white so why give ,for example, a hispanic hero only hispanic villians. That is my only beef.

Yeah I guess you could look it like that. That means it can be kinda hard to define whats Irish. Im sure there are loads of Irish Americans in Boston...I think.

its been my experience that alot of people who would claim irish ancestry only do so because their great uncle's second cousin's sister's boyfriend once had a guinness in galway... 😛

though alot of people (americans in particular), do have genuine irish ancestry, considering it was irish people (as well as spanish) who helped build the country...

First off, that's just not true. As grey fox proved by the links.

Secondly, if you have no problem with this, then why did you start the thread?!

Look please don't be upset, what I was trying to explain was that having caucasian heroes is fine and all,but that we needed a more diverse comic book universe. However I came to the conclusion that the reason there are so many because it's based on where you are in the world,and I didn't know that until now. So I was just confused thats all. Look I'm not racist AT ALL ,because thats just not the way my heart goes.
I also needed this information to make a better comic book. So please, this goes for everyone if I offened you in any way I'm very sorry,and please forgive me . All I wanted was to balance everything out to satisfy everyone.
