Nice Swans shirt, cf.
Really interesting mix had no idea Black Irish was a thing.
My grandparents always told me that Black Irish meant that some of our ancestors were from Spain, but apparently historians doubt that Spaniards made a significant dent into the Irish gene pool. So it might just refer to the Irish phenotype that has black hair and darker features.
It looks like you're not too far off from having a solid fro.
I don't get why Americans love Ireland and Irish heritage so much. Ireland had some kind of important point in history when the kept some classical texts that were otherwise lost or something, a hell of a long time ago, long before modernity, but other than that, they haven't really done much more than say, the Armenians or Bulgarians.
