Historically, a derogatory term for Irish Catholic Americans. However , Depending on a few factors it can also be a term of endearment. I am 90% Irish. My experience is definitely vastly different than my grandfather. He was an exploited child laborer & boxer. After WW2, No more signs saying "Irish need not apply; no micks or dogs." Society changed & like a lot of Irish; did well in a simple Union job. I met his lifelong Italian friend who tried to give him a beat down at 13.(1931) When he refused to pay some mob tax for his recently departed Dad. Both men gleefully exchanged racial epithets; in good fun. My experience with it really; was fun. Growing up in a black neighbourhood, when I moved 3000 miles to LA. I made friends with all minorites. My close black friends thought it fascinating that different European races had derogatory names for each other. I was young and was offended by strangers calling me white boy. I was always introduced as "the mick." ❤it. Context is big
