Yes there are:Here's a link that tells some of their stories: https://irishboston.org/irish_women.php I would edit it, but I'm concerned I may make a mistake. IrishLas (talk) 19:40, 20 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Percentage of Irish in Boston

[edit]

When did they constitute the largest ethnicity or majority of Boston's city and metro area's population? I'm curious and wants to mention that in the article. In 2016, there is much less Irish descendants in the city of Boston, since the majority of Irish and other Whites moved to nearby suburbs in the 1950s-70s. 2605:E000:FDCA:4200:D962:2182:F3EB:EEB3 (talk) 01:28, 18 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

By 1960s onward, white people, including the Irish moved to the suburbs described as "White flight" IrishLas (talk) 19:45, 20 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I think it depends on your definition of ethnic or ancestry group. Remember, "black" and "white" each include many different groups. I agree that more info would be helpful, though. --MopTop (talk) 18:02, 7 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Reverted an edit

[edit]

I just removed a block of text from the introductory paragraph, which is supposed to be a reasonably concise summary of the article as a whole. There were no sources cited, and it didn't seem like the right place to add that information. --MopTop (talk) 20:58, 16 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Would cultural conservative be better?

[edit]

I was wondering, after reading the book where the citation is from the author never actually says “social conservative”, he just says conservative so I was wondering if cultural conservative would be better because they were trying to preserve their cultural norms and their traditional values and that seemed to be stronger and more widespread in Irish Catholics than by arguing on a purely moral basis. Although morality was apart of it, cultural traditions were widely infused. Therefore should we reconsider the label “socially conservative”?
