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.

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'.

Question certain aspects of different cultures - racist. Question traveller crime rates - racist/bigot. None of which are actually racist or bigoted.
