    Generally only got good natured slagging from the English when I worked over there. I used to tell them that when I left Ireland to go to England, the average IQ in both countries rose substantially. Had 1 lad come back to me the next day telling me I had insulted the English

    I hope your response was 'Yes. And?'

    Straight white males need to be able to take a joke.....however if straight white males make a joke about any one else or color or minority, sex, gender etc then they are most definitely racist.

    did you not get the email ?
    Its the PC way today

    Watching the Bulgaria v England match here and there's really vile racism on display. Any time a black player gets the ball for England, the crowd are booing and worse. Referee has had to stop the game and the stadium PA has had to warn the fans to stop.

    Hilariously, it's 4-0 to England and every goal has been scored by a black player or a player of black extraction.


    Those scum should thrown out. Not that anyone would miss Bulgaria. They are ****ing hopeless.

    I assume the Eu will sort out the Racism of Eastern European Countries .

    Should these Racist Countries even be in the Eu ?

    You only have to look at Westminster to see how little the average English person knows about Ireland. The ignorance is astonishing, not to mention the widely held misconceptions.

    Are you referring to the current Home Secretary ?

    :D

    Not an average 'English' person however you look at it, but nevertheless...

    Are you suggesting you actually received an email which outlined what you posted?

    Because, if not, then Yes, you imagined it.

    I was referring to Westminster politicians in general.

    How is the current Home Secretary not an average English person?

    The term race reflects on skin colour! Always has. And always will changing it now to suit people is completely unethical. And because of that race has lost all meaning. Therefore so will the term racism!
    Skin colour? Is there something like of those Dulux colour charts available so I can know the race of all the people I know?

    Do freckles count when measuring skin colour? Is it the colour between the freckles that determines the race or is the overall average colour?

    On the skin colour basis, that means Norwegians are a different race to Italians. But Norwegians are presumably the same race as Dutch who are the same race as French who are the same race as Spanish who are the same race as the Italians. How does that work?

    Japanese, Koreans and Chinese - same or different "races"?

    I've an old aunt who has spent every holiday since the 80s irradiating herself on beaches. Her skin is the colour of a dried prune. Is she the same race as the rest of the family who are mostly milk-bottle white or freckled?

    Or maybe classifing people into "races" based on superficial physical attributes isn't so easy. Apartheid South Africa had teams of "scientists" trying to do it for decades - including by using skin colour charts - and they got nowhere. For scientists, race only exists as a social concept - there is no biological definition of what constitutes a human race, never mind categories of humans based on skin colour or tone.

    Landsdowne road 1995 anyone?

    Nazi salutes and racist chanting.

    Chelsea fans c18?

    John terry calling Anton Ferdinand a black ****?

    Hypocrisy.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,625 ✭✭✭Lefty Bicek


    :rolleyes:

    Better looking than you too, judging by your reaction there.

    Anyway, to be serious -

    By virtue of being Home Secretary, she is not an 'average English person'.

    By virtue of being a Patel, she is not an 'average English person'. (Don't make me explain the difference between English and British to you.)

    She is though, cluelessly insensitive to Irish history.

    There are very recent examples too.

    Aside from racism their scum fans have been causing trouble in Prague and Sofia for the last few days.

    None of that excuses hundreds of numbskulls doing monkey chants tonight.

    Bit off topic but I doubt the EU is going to kick countries out because of soccer chants.

    Culturally very English then. She’s also English by nationality which isn’t the same as race. She’s also british.

    And hot. I agree with that.

    But she's in favour of the death penalty. That should go down well round these parts.

    Apparently the one of the laws she wants implemented would have prevented her parents migrating to the UK in the way they did.

    Cold, cold woman.

    You only have to look at Westminster to see how little the average English person knows about Ireland. The ignorance is astonishing, not to mention the widely held misconceptions.

    This is it. And I suppose I could ask the average Irish person how much they know about the cultural of Cumbria or Northumberland. Or Cornwall or the Midlands. And I would expect them to know half of fcuk all. Ignorance tends to show itself unbeknownst to the speaker. I wonder how many times I say stupid things to people who's culture I don't know much about.

    If the lad on the tour is genuinely bullying, then the OP should stand up to them. If they're just an eejit but they keep going on and on, then a quiet word should do the trick. If it's just banter then there’s not a lot to be done.

    British Indians vote Tory. Many voted Brexit. To be fair, that’s an example of integration.

    You compared a country to a region there, hoping we wouldn’t notice.

    As is their objection to immigration from Eastern Europe.
