The English are germanic stock. The Irish are Iberian stock. (Before a lot of modern mixing).
Hard as it is to believe today the Irish were believed to be ape-like non-whites.

Irish racism in
Victorian Britain and 19th century United States included the
stereotyping of the Irish as violent and alcoholic.
[17] Some English illustrators depicted a prehistoric "ape-like image" of Irish faces to bolster evolutionary racist claims that the Irish people were an "inferior race" as compared to Anglo-Saxons.

Similar to other immigrant populations, they were sometimes accused of
cronyism and subjected to misrepresentations of their religious and cultural beliefs.
Irish Catholics were particularly singled out for attack by Protestants.

In
Liverpool, England, where many Irish immigrants settled following the
Great Famine, anti-Irish prejudice was widespread. The sheer numbers of people coming across the Irish sea and settling in the poorer districts of the city led to physical attacks and it became common practice for those with Irish accents or even Irish names to be barred from jobs, public houses and employment opportunities.
In 1836, young Benjamin Disraeli wrote:
[The Irish] hate our order, our civilization, our enterprising industry, our pure religion.
This wild, reckless, indolent, uncertain and superstitious race have no sympathy with the English character. Their ideal of human felicity is an alternation of clannish broils and coarse idolatry. Their history describes an unbroken circle of bigotry and blood.
