Tribute to a little known bit of American History

From the middle 1800s to the early 1900s in New York Irish women immigrated to America as a rate twice that of Irish men, as such at one time there were 100 Irish women to 80 men from Ireland in New York.

At the same time while men from China were coming to America, few or no women made the voyage. In fact from 1850 to 1860 not a single Chinese woman was recorded in the New York census.
Because of this many Chinese and Irish couples came together then.

Also at the time busybodies did a lot of clucking, complaining and otherwise being unpleasant about. Some people are like that.

This image is in Celebration of this little item of American history.

The words in the air are Ireland in Chinese and China in Gaelic.
