I know, you have such a narrow definition of racism that only whites can be racist, and only if they put down people of color.
Signs like this used to be all over the place, right next to the ones saying no blacks. That used to be called racism, but in our modern society prefers to pretend it isn't.
More reading, if you want to learn.

Bigotry is bigotry, no matter what you call it, and you are supporting a bigot.
ACTUALLY: Richard J. Jensen - "No Irish Need Apply": A Myth of Victimization - Journal of Social History 36:2
You may submit your profound, unmitigated butthurt upon realizing that you are wrong in the form of a haiku poem to be displayed in your signature along with a link to this thread. If you are unable to come up with an adequate one, I can provide creative assistance to you.The fact that Irish vividly "remember" NINA signs is a curious historical puzzle. There are no contemporary or retrospective accounts of a specific sign at a specific location. No particular business enterprise is named as a culprit. No historian, archivist, or museum curator has ever located one; no photograph or drawing exists. No other ethnic group complained about being singled out by comparable signs. Only Irish Catholics have reported seeing the sign in Americano Protestant, no Jew, no non-Irish Catholic has reported seeing one. This is especially strange since signs were primarily directed toward these others: the signs said that employment was available here and invited Yankees, French-Canadians, Italians and any other non-Irish to come inside and apply. The business literature, both published and unpublished, never mentions NINA or any policy remotely like it. The newspapers and magazines are silent. The courts are silent. There is no record of an angry youth tossing a brick through the window that held such a sign. Have we not discovered all of the signs of an urban legend?
Really?
This looks like a photo to me.
Judging by the URL, that photo was uploaded during June of 2014. If it was legit, it would have a timestamp from decades ago.
Since you seem to be struggling with starting your haiku, I'll pen one for your usage:
My butt is so bruised.
Feminists always winning.
I feel I should die.
Or how about this one:
I lost to LM.
She is always right; I'm not.
Refrigerator.
As you can see, strong improvisational skills are needed when practicing the noble art of haiku; it sometimes becomes necessary to add non-sequitur words into the mix to aid in the poetic flow. You'll pick it up eventually.
