    Too much, too quickly, if you ask me.

    Mostly EU and 2002-2007 were the boom times and very attractive for newer EU members.

    In April 2016, there were 535,475 non-Irish nationals living in Ireland. This was a decrease of 1.6% on the 2011 census figure of 544,357 people.Sep 18, 2018

    10% is not irish , thats the figure that WE know about

    could be twice that with illegals

    Im not at all uncomfortable with demographics changing, it's the speed it's happening makes me a little worried. I can understand why people have concerns.

    that gang from balbriggan have made it down to raheny , fairview

    times they are a changin

    I don't know if you're referring to all black people as animals or just black criminals but either way it's a fairly charged post. If blacks, as you put it, worked 'normal' jobs then you'd have people saying that they're taking them from Irish people*. Can't really win.

    *There is a such thing as Irish white people btw

    Well not all obvs, but there was something on the news today about x134 taxi drivers identifed in sham marriages

    https://www.rte.ie/news/crime/2019/0306/1034702-sham-marriages-taxi/

    If they were in Ireland illegally (Operation Vantage) how come they were able to get taxi licences, insurance, tax and all that stuff organised?

    I've no idea. I'm merely putting it to you that there isn't really a major issue with the Chinese community in general from native Irish people, in my experience, even though their culture is practically alien to us. They've made a right go of things over here without ruffling feathers or taking offence to existing customs and thus have been very welcome by enlarge from what I've seen.

    Not many people have issues with the Chinese community, although they are still subjected to racism on a constant basis. The only people who appear to have a problem with the Chinese, or the thought of them becoming the largest ethnic group, are the 'Irish will be a minority by 20xx" brigade. Most of the people spouting this nonsense aren't even Irish themselves.

    I actually think the MNC-driven economy is more of an explanation and what continues to make it attractive. The language industry is another area that pulls in large numbers all year round.

    There was a time when people would be offended at getting called racist. Those are days are long gone.

    I don't think there has ever been a time when racists have been offended by being called racists.

    They usually try to downplay it by telling us 'the word has no meaning anymore' or 'we're all racist deep down'.

    Thinks it more of case of particular posters trying to spread the idea of normalisation of racism.

    The word has no meaning anymore. I don't know about us all being racist deep down, I'd say we are all inherently tribal and 20 years of immigration won't change that.

    The point is, that progressives bandy the words racist and bigot around so much, that they have lost their dictionary definitions. If you question economic immigration - racist. Question certain aspects of different cultures - racist. Question traveller crime rates - racist/bigot. None of which are actually racist or bigoted.

    Same with calling someone a nazi.

    I just love how racism is used as a shield to protect people that do disruptive things from facing backlash.

    Racism is the Ultimate get out of jail free card, pity us white folk cant use it tho :(

    It's not anymore though, accusations of racism are taken by most like water off a ducks back, best ignored.
