How accurate is AH as a reflection of Irish society?

    I lived in Dublin for three years when I was in college and I have been planning on coming back for a bit more schooling but now I am not so sure. I was super excited too because I had such a wonderful time before but now, with the rise of anti-immigration sentiment all over Europe, I wonder if I wouldn't be better off staying closer to home.

    I am a little apprehensive for a number of reasons, one of which is the worry that the anti-immigrant/multiculturalism sentiment expressed in recent AH threads is an accurate reflection of Irish society at large. The one thread I am talking about had a poll where a statistically relevant number of people voted - 63% I think it was - against multiculturalism.

    As a foreigner, it's a little disheartening to read some of the stuff said on here. I've been on boards and AH for a while - I closed my old account and re-regged - so I know not to take everything quite so seriously but even then, it's hard not to wonder if it is actually how people IRL feel but can only say under the guise of anonymity.

    So tell me AH, how accurate would you say AH is as a reflection of Irish society?
