    Haigh a chairde Gaeil.

    I've seen an ad on telly quite a few times now,where soccer players like Messi,Ibrahimovic,Robben,Ribery and Ronaldo are all saying No To Racism in their native languages.Except for Bale,who says it in English instead of saying it in Welsh,oddly enough.It just has me wondering-out of curiosity-how would we say it in our language?

    I know that ciníochas is the Irish for racism.
    But what would be a nice,correct and at the same time efficient way of saying No To Racism i nGaeilge?

    Gura míle.

    Siúl leat, siúl leat, le dóchas i do chroí, is ní shiúlfaidh tú i d'aonar go deo.

    I'd suggest "Diúltaigh do chiníochas" as one way of saying it ('reject/refuse racism')

    "Ná glac le ciníochas" could work too ('do not accept racism')

    Irish likes definite articles, maybe Diúltaigh don chiníochas. I like that anyways.

    I would absolutely love it if there was an Irish player included in that ad and hear that player deliver that message in Irish.

    I remember an ad from the 90s about MasterCard,which showed different people from all over the world talking about MasterCard in their own languages.And then at the end of the ad,a lovely woman says:
    's é an cárta a bhíonn in úsáid agam i gcónaí ná MasterCard.

    Siúl leat, siúl leat, le dóchas i do chroí, is ní shiúlfaidh tú i d'aonar go deo.

    I very nearly typed the very same thing, but then I checked Téarma.ie and started second-guessing myself. :o
