@_jennasayquoi: extreme poverty, prejudice, and cruelty led to alcohol abuse among Irish American immigrants. To simply reduce those men to a “Paddy” stereotype of laziness and drunkenness, when they were targeted by police/abused by the system, was downright cruel. #irishamerican #gildedage #victorian #victorianera #historytok

Paddy is not a slur, it’s shorthand for Patrick in Irish. Like calling a James or Jimmy Jim. Literally not offensive at all.
