    Is St Patricks Day racist now?

    https://twitter.com/endstpats/status/828017529943646210

    Is there any legitimacy to it?

    Obviously if you look hard enough on the internet there will always be someone with crazy ideas (especially in the US).

    I think these ideas are becoming more accepted these days.

    In the future will there be protests on St Patricks Day?

    Some people have a very vivid imagination. This one was unusual.

    Is St. Martins day racist, or cinco de Mayo, Bastille day, Independence Day, etc.

    There should be a internet warrior day for headers like the one who dreamed up that nonsense.

    She looks like she's suffering from an awful dose of feminism there. Someone call the doc before she starts dying her hair blue.

    White pride? Those idiots do realise that the vast majority of Irish people and those of Irish descent just happen to be white via genetics.

    It's like people being outraged that the majority of people celebrating festivals in Africa happen to be black.

    This is probably a troll but is "white pride" actually something certain people would be against?

    No, it's just some lad in a dark room, stripped to his boxers jacking off to a successful troll.

    Yeah, because SJWs don't have a history of coming up with this this crap.

    Definitely not.
    Unfortunately it doesn't reinforce the drunken Irish stereotype.
