on the gourmet holiday show i thought i heard Monifa says her husband is irish...did she mean it like everybody is irish on St. Paddy's Day or is he actually irish?

[ValuSkr]

I think she meant it in the former sense.  She posted a photo of the two of them on Valentine's Day and he appears to be African-American.

Either way, Skin color has nothing to do with where you were born/live!

Lorraine former of the Baking Championship was from Britain!!

If you are born in America you are American no matter what your ethnic heritage is.  It is possible his family settled in Ireland and if born there he is technically Irish no matter his ethnic heritage.

@ValuSkr.  African American is a race, not a nationality.  He could be a black Irishman.  Maybe not but it's possible.

There are people of many different skin colors in Britain.

As there are all over the world.

I know you probably didn't mean it to sound this way but it reminded me of Lady Susan Hussey who was a friend to Queen Elizabeth and member of the royal household. She kept asking Ms Fulani who was a Black Charity Boss where she was from when they were introduced.  She said the UK  and Lady Susan asked again,  but where was SHE from? and "where were her people from?!" Ms Fulani said "MY people?"!

Lady Susan Hussey apologized and resigned her position as a member of the Royal household.

Ms Fulani said it was embarrassing and an incident she will never forget.

There are people of different colors-black, white and everything else who actually were born in Ireland too.  People who identify as "Black Irish" have lived there since the 1800's.

It really shows how absolutely clueless some people at the palace obviously are or extremely ignorant which is a part of racism.

Prince William said: "Racism has no place in our society, these comments were unnaceptable. It is right that the individual has stepped down."

And many who might not mean to be but come across that way, living in a very narrow world.
