I find myself Irish and no slave holder.
Perhaps the Bushman are purer, who knows.

It’s all academic isn’t it?

Well, I don't know about you specifically of course, so my statements below are generic and not about you personally in any way. Some Irish were slave-holders in the south (like in gone with the wind :), while some folks who are Irish-American may have blood from southern slave-holders

Also, the Irish are descended from a mixture of ancient Gaels and Normans (to some extent) as well as Danes and Romans (to a very small extent), while the ancient Irish also enslaved other Irish.

So, in a "broader" context a "pure-blood Irish" :) would most probably have slaves as well as slave-holders in their bloodline. that's what I meant -- not specifically black slaves

the San as a people haven't enslaved anyone -- because they never moved from a hunter-gatherer existence and slaves would be useless.
