It is hard to think of a race lower than the Irish. They are not only the lowest European race, but possibly even the lowest race in the world.
First, consider their history. For thousands of years, they were primitive pagans. While the Greeks and Romans were building mighty empires, amassing wealth, and making enormous technological leaps, the Irish were worshipping trees and rocks. When the Romans colonized Britain, they ignored Ireland because it simply wasn't worth their time. Conquering Gaul and Carthage demonstrated the might of Rome, but conquering the primitive Irish wouldn't have proved anything.
Not long after the Romans left Britain, a man named St. Patrick converted Ireland to Christianity. Little did he know that Ireland would produce so few people of note in the following years that even in the 21st century, their main holiday is St. Patrick's day. One good thing that can be said about the Irish is that during the Dark Ages, they did not regress any because there was simply nowhere to regress to. As the rest of Europe clawed its way out of the Dark Ages, Ireland was conquered numerous times by the English, who were by no means a great European power yet. While the Irish complained and drank away their sadness, their Scottish cousins fought back, often times with great success against England. Their is a reason why today, the Irish have a reputation as drunkards while the Scots have a reputation as being noble, brave warriors.
