    duine gorm for black person, the translation is blue people. the reason for it is duine dubh (black person) in some parts of ireland means the devil.

    Wouldn't duine donn make a lot more sense, especially seeing as how "black" people have actually got brown coloured skin.

    Apparently it's something to do with the colour of their skin in the shade. Either that or they confused them with smurfs.

    Smurfs are real, by the way.
