I just heard some incredibly strong Cork accents off of a few of them so why do you keep calling them non nationals? I've also seen white teenagers in Cork acting like idiots too... Can you explain why you keep using the term non national over and over?

I think some people are getting their knickers in a twist over labels, some people will never accept that people, even descendents of people from different parts of the world are going to be Irish,it doesent automatically mean they hate them or that they are racist, they just have a different idea of what being irish is.

It's pretty clear what the poster's view is when look at their posting history.

You obviously have no sound on your computer cause those guys are clearly from Cork?

Did you go to school where they teach you the meaning of words?

How can you laugh at that type of carry on? It's ignorant to the bone. Irish or not encouraging that type of behaviour is idiotic at best.

Yeah, white. Seems pretty racist to me.

Teenagers behaving like morons has happened in every generation. I think you're overreacting a bit.

What? Seriously? Insisting black people are not Irish is not racist? How bizarre. Of course it is racist.

Beechwoodspark · 11-01-2018 12:02AM

What a pack of ignorant **** in that video.

I’m actually surprised one of the cars didn’t knock them down as they obliviously took selfies in the middle of the road - some disciplinarians might even say they deserved to get a whack of a car bumper to maybe cop themselves on a tad!

I dont care if theyre from Mars via the Land of Oz, if someone lay on my bonnet like that in traffic that he'd have a jaw so sore it'd keep him awake for a week. Dangerous and intimidating behaviour.

Just an FYI but people usually pick up the accents of where they learnt a language, so isn't the best gauge of nationality

Well all the pretending seems to be working wonders in the united states. That's a great country, right?

Or South Africa?

Some things cannot be brushed under the carpet, ever. An irish person "born and raised" in Saudi Arabia is never, ever going to be recognised on a societal level as a Saudi Arabian. A Japanese person born in Nigeria is never, ever, going to be recognised on a societal level as a Nigerian.

Sure, you can play games and be polite, but that doesn't mean jack in the real world. Its just fooling yourself.

Here in Western Europe we tend to think of people differently. A black person born and bred in Britain, with a fluent British accent, can be recognised on every level I think as British.

And are all the time. When have you ever heard anyone call themselves an African English?

I think you’ll find you’re the one fooling yourself. A black child born and raised in Ireland is Irish. Skin colour is irrelevant.

It would still be black though.

I worked with an Albanian guy back in the day. He wasn’t even in the country a year and he had a stronger Dublin accent than myself :pac:

My cousin is only living in London a few years and you would never guess she was Irish.

OK... First of all it was neither dangerous or intimidating and no worse than a white mischievous teenager

Someone who speaks English as a second language may develop a local accent but they will NOT sound like they're from that area simply because they will pronounce things differently.

So it's BS to say they will.

And as a person born and raised in Cork, I can confirm that there are plenty of Corconian black people. The OP is only using this for his bat**** insane vendetta against people of colour; The people leaping to the defense of his selected terminology tend to strongly agree with his views...
