Quincy Jones says Ireland is so racist it's frightening

Quincy Jones says Ireland is so racist it's frightening.

He might be pleasantly surprised if he went around Ireland. However I had a read of the article and it seems that 84 year old Quincy Jones doesn't like "the fat and old". Isn't that ageist and sizeist of him? He also has 23 girlfriends who all know about each other. Fair play to him. I presume none of them are fat or old.

Maybe it was just Quincy that we didn't like and not a whole race? He seems like a piece of work.

Captain Obvious

The 84-year-old producer - who has six daughters and a son - told GQ in a wide-ranging interview that he "stays at Bono's castle when he is in Dublin

Yeah, I'm not quite sure he was mixing with the regular folk.

ricero

Quincy Jones is a long legged mac daddy

Ninjini

He’s friends with Bono, that tells you all you need to know about him.

uch

Right that's him goin' on my death Pool list, That'll learn him!

The_Valeyard

He's an idiot.

diomed

No examples of racism in that article.
You would expect a few entertaining anecdotes.

jonon9

I dont see why mentioning how many sons and daughters have to do with this story.

whisky_galore

Remind me of how many race-related Gardaí shooting incidents have occurred here?

AllGunsBlazing

Fvck him and his opinion of this country.

:rolleyes: I stay in Bono's castle....

GLaDOS

The article is just an assortment of things he has said, with little to no connection to each other. And no mention of Racism after the start of the article.

Coffee Fulled Runner

Click bait article

biko

Article reads like if he was drunk at the time of the interview

"Why not??? Why? For what, man? There's nothing...there's no upside. You gotta be kidding. I got me some technology out there that keep fat and old away from here. Buzzes if they're too old.

His mind is still in the '50, get with the program old man!

Irish Guitarist

Ireland has to be one of the least racist countries in the world. Maybe he's going senile or something.

Bummer1234

Id say he's great craic over a few pints.......

Harry Palmr

Quincy Jones is one of my favourite music artists - to be honest he can say whatever he likes having scored The Italian Job and The Getaway (that and he is old and doddery now).

diomed

I want to see Tommy Tiernan interviewing him.

wawaman

Quincy hasnt been the same since his son formed LMAFO and released "Im Sexy and i know it"

Trigger Happy

He must be pissed off to be given a moniker like Quincy.

Not my experience when I came back here a few years ago....casual racism/bigotry is far more prevalent than in the UK...at least that's what I experienced when listening to work colleagues. Quincy Jones does seem like a bit of an arse though and maybe a bit of a racist himself...nothing too unusual there.

But says feck all else, so we've no idea why he thinks that at all. Pointless article that leaves you no wiser for having read it.

That senseless ramble by Mr. Jones is one of the more coherent articles the Indo has published recently.

When I worked in call centres I heard some racist crap. I'm not racist but.... kind of stuff and some of it was shocking. But it was pretty rare. Most of the people I worked with never said or did anything slightly racist. Now I work in tech I never hear anything like that.

But you're right when you say it's worse in the UK. I have friends from there who are casually racist all the time. They have no problems making blanket statements about any racial/ethnic group. Even when I was in the call centre, taking calls from english customers, you'd hear racist crap. Especially towards the irish.

Racism is only a problem when different races mix together.

The more races that live together, the bigger a problem racism becomes.

I'd say the Japanese are racist as f**k, but seeing as its probably 95% Japanese living in japan.......its not a problem for either the japs OR other races.

Just solved the racist problem of the world, will be waiting on that nobel prize through the post any day now
