Oh definitely.I just wanted point out that comparing the struggles of the Irish and Italian immigration events to the more ethnically diverse immigration we see today or the slave trade there is that one major difference.
That being that the Irish and Italians could more easily blend into the white culture within a generation or two. That wasn't and isn't the case for other types of immigrants where race can still cause problems generations later.
I don't think their integration was as quick as that. Maybe 3-4 is a better number.

Any Irish elites were either still catholic, or had become pawns of the Brits.

Yeah they must've deep faked those quotes in those videos eh? Because dear leader totally never said those things he's on video saying. Because that would mean he either doesn't have an "amazing" memory or he lied. And dear leader is an infallible source of pure truth.

That's fair I wouldn't argue if you want to say it was closer to that.
I suppose it's a close enough gap that it doesn't really matter either way.

Yes. Though the catholicism of the time might be (and probably was) very different at the time, the vast majority of Irish people were catholic back then. When the British were in power they did try to make Protestantism (?) the dominant religion in Ireland (you literally had to convert to get food etc, and catholicism practice was technically illegal), but it never really took hold.
It's a fair assumption that if an Irish person that landed in America had a religion, that it was catholicism.
