[Castle is having a green beer at the bar. He's wearing a green tee shirt and a jacket over it. At least he's trying to be festive. It's progress for him. He's also got a small notebook and a pen. Every once in a while he scribbles something down then goes back to his green beer and his people watching]

While I'm fairly sure that Castle is an English name at one point there was a bit of English in the Irish blood lines. The British were going to 'breed' the Irish out. Nasty piece of history but the most history has those bits.

[ooc: If there is a particular bar that is serving green beer, feel free to place him in it. I had no idea if any of the player bars were serving it or not so I put him in a nonspecific one. Feel free to come up and have some green beer with him]

Breed the Irish out? How does that work, nationality isn't tied to genes. While there are physical traits that are common to an area, there's isn't a significant enough difference in the basic genomes to breed for, let alone out.

It's an antiquated, barbaric theory that the English employeed centuries ago. At least according to history which is notoriously biased.

How were they doing that? Enforced gene therapy?

This was centuries ago. It was rape.
