I would imagine the letter writers gripe is more to do with 1000 jobs going than racist and the 'paddy ' slur is more an after thought ( plus yes, he's pissed off the Aussies got their ass wupped in the rugby match )

Australia. Where intelligence goes to die.

Australia should send all their racists to some horrible inhospitable island thousands of miles away from civilisation.

I think that was the joke.

I can't see him having any grounds for that unless he is an aborigine

He's white and the person that sent the letter was probably white. It's not racism. It could be described as xenophobia, nationalism or just stupidity.

This just goes to show... that... all Australians... are... racist bastards ....

loobylou

Whats an "austarilia"?

Haelium

What's with all the hate for Australia in this thread? Judging them based on a single asshole isn't quite fair. Anyway, OP could have just made this up. Need I remind everyone of the stereotype the Irish have before you start judging large numbers of people based on anecdotes?

That reminds me of the time Eamon Dunphy was criticising a spat between Gordon Strachan & Alex Ferguson...

Eamon Dunphy: "Scots they're either nice or they're horrid and these two are horrid."

Bill O Herlihy: "The Scots wont like that Eamon, that's bordering on racism".

Eamon: "It’s not racism - it's ethnic criticism, Bill."

Can't beat the RTE footy panel - they're funnier in real life than Gift Grub ever was!

It can't be racism if he's white!

It can, unless you use one particular very narrow definition of 'race'. There is often more racial difference between two people of darker skin colour than there is between a white person and one of those people. If "racial difference" amounts to a social definition which is restricted to "different skin colour" then you're somewhat correct. If race, however, alludes to its more accurate, scientific meaning, then all human beings belong to the one race.

Quantas, never crashed.

19 letters, yeah...

Thread title is confusing , should read 'Irish man in Australia receives racist letter'. But probably wouldn't be as newsworthy.

So everyone agrees that Australia is a complete shíthole, is massively expensive, has the worst food in the world, and all looks pretty much the same. And is full of people with all the culture of a gym sock.

GENERAL ALERT!

The Australians have uncovered Ireland secret plan to take over the world.

MOBILISE AND MAN DEFENSES!

THIS IS NOT A DRILL!

On a side note; isn't a sizable percentage of Australia's population directed descended from Irish emigrants?

Can't take anyone who says arse seriously.

Isn't an Irish man the head of British Airways aswell?

There's an Irish conspiracy to run all the airlines in the world.

Bit like the Greeks and Hollywood.

We're all already here on an island and loving it.


What we cannot work out is why every one else wants to come here.


It's people like Alan Joyce who thought they knew best for Ireland and look at the situation Ireland is in, and we don't want Qantas trashed as well.

Nothing racist about the letter that was sent to him, just spelling it out to him how Aussies feel about his attitude to Aussie workers.

LH Pathe

Already knew Aussies hated Irish 10yr ago when a whole social circle of IT berks I knew personally transferred their insufferable selves there. I woulda thought them alone'd have been more than enough

that recent movie with the Irish psycho only reinforced it. this is peanuts

I can sort of see where you are coming from

Make 1000 employee jobless and reward yourself with a 71% payrise.

The union is blaming Qantas for fabicating the letter's to discredit its members.
