我们知道，爱尔兰裔美国人财雄势大。

事实上，历史上爱尔兰移民曾经被排挤，当时的求职，有一句这样的话："No Irish need apple".

我们喜欢看PBS 的历史频道“Finding your Roots"，这个节目借着寻根这个主题，让我们了解各种各样的不同的家族故事，了解他们自己家的历史。将它们串联起来，了解美国历史。https://www.wxxi.org/roots/no-irish-need-apply-ondemand

"No Irish need apply"

London version of NINA song, Feb. 1862

After 1860, many Irish sang songs about signs and notices reading Help wanted – no Irish need apply or similar. The 1862 song "No Irish Need Apply", written and performed by Mrs F. R. Phillips was inspired by such signs in London. Later Irish Americans adapted the lyrics and the songs to reflect the discrimination they felt in America.

Historians have debated the issue of anti-Irish job discrimination in the United States. Some insist that the "No Irish need apply" (or "NINA") signs were common, but others, such as Richard J. Jensen, argue that anti-Irish job discrimination was not a significant factor in the United States, and these signs and print advertisements were posted by the limited number of early 19th-century English immigrants to the United States who shared the prejudices of their homeland. In July 2015 the same journal that published Jensen's 2002 paper published a rebuttal by Rebecca A. Fried, an 8th-grade student at Sidwell Friends School. She listed multiple instances of the restriction used in advertisements for many different types of positions, including "clerks at stores and hotels, bartenders, farm workers, house painters, hog butchers, coachmen, bookkeepers, blackers, workers at lumber yards, upholsterers, bakers, gilders, tailors, and papier mache workers, among others." While the greatest number of NINA instances occurred in the 1840s, Fried found instances for its continued use throughout the subsequent century, with the most recent dating to 1909 in Butte, Montana.

Alongside "No Irish Need Apply" signs, in the post-World War II years, signs saying "No Irish, No Blacks, No Dogs" or similar anti-Irish sentiment are reported to begin to appear in the United Kingdom.
