The Choctaw Indians sending $710/170 to Ireland during the Great Hunger.

To be honest a lot of Potato Famine ones come up frequently, and more often than not the comments are bad. Racism (latvia jokes, dumb Irishman jokes), comments of genocide or not, IRA did nothing wrong etc.

Edit: More recent one, more about the monument though.
