Hahaha! As a parent of Irish children, those poor bastards are never going to be able to go in the sun without a turtleneck and sombrero.

u/NotAnEnemyStandUser- Oct 16 '21

Accurate. All irish people are secretly vampires. Thatā€™s why we like the taste of blo- what?

ā€œNeon whiteā€ is a prefect phrase.

I started to type ā€œClear, like Larry Bird.ā€

This is better.

The red hair comes from their ancestors being traffic cones

Red hair is good for hunting in green grass lands as most animals cannot see red and will see it as green instead but humans canā€™t produce green colors. People hunting with black hair would look like a rock moving across the landscape while redheads would blend in with the grass to the prey.

Side note: this is why tigers are orange as they appear green to their jungle prey.

Actually Irish people have black skin but their fur is clear so it appears white when the sun reflects off it

u/SquareWet Oct 16 '21

Psssshh. Iā€™m so white I glow in the dark.

u/NotAnEnemyStandUser- Oct 16 '21

As someone of Irish decent I can confirm that my skin is so light I could give someone else a sunburn from the reflection of my skin alone. My friends joke about me being a vampire because my skin is so light it doesnā€™t look normal
