Are Irish people racist?

Hi

Just putting this question out there to see what kind of conversation it generates. I know this is after hours but please keep the responses within a minimal level of BS.

One colour, One people, One unity.

Everyone deserves to be loved. No hate, not today!

Given some of the choicer contributions I sometimes see in Politics and in RL, if the question can be "are some or a lot of Irish people racist", I'd happily give a "well, duh" answer. The verbal gymnastics from a few people can be only a few posts away.

i think the 45+ generations in general are horribly racist, but its not quite so bad as you go back through generations

Why? Is this for 'research' purposes?

I certainly think the older generation, who did not grow up in multicultural Ireland are far more racist than the younger. Having said that, there is certainly an element of racism amongst the younger generation too. The "Polish taking our jobs" attitude was very prevalent here in the last 7 or 8 years. Ironic as we have been an emigration nation for the last 200 years which changed for 15 years and we have now returned to it.

Surely a few more of them will come good in the next 12 months.
