Reddit mentions of The Irish Slaves: Slavery, indenture and Contract labor Among Irish Immigrants

That link is like a textbook example of why people need to be super critical of random sources they find on the internet - most of the links cited as "sources" there are super dodgy. Take [this]
(http://www.irishcentral.com/roots/history/irish-the-forgotten-white-slaves-says-expert-john-martin-188645531-237793261.html) "source," for example; it's an article which "cites" another article, which was posted on a conspiracy theorist website, and which is itself based on the book that I just pointed out is discredited. Or take this blog post, which cites a fiction book among it's sources, or this source, which appears to be a forum post by some random guy which has no citations at all.

Edit: Woah, it gets even better - if you follow the links, you also find that that article is at least partly based on this book which is published by "CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform" (ie: self-published on a vanity press), and whose author starts their author biography by pointing out that they're a "certified paranormal investigator."

That the Irish immigrants were "hired" to do jobs when slave owners didn't want to risk losing their investment.

Book

oppressed minority is a relative term. A white man in a black ghetto is an oppressed minority. or a white in south africa. Issues such as slavery are rather funny to when you think abotu it. As an Irish American i have just as much of a right to declare myself a member of a formerly oppressed minority.

if you feel like a little light reading.

Oh, it was just a taste of what they've had to endure. Here's the sources you were looking for, you really should educate yourself before spouting off like you actually know any history. ;)
