    Tell it to African Americans that white people in Ireland are experiencing racism.

    1 They're not a different race so it's not racism.

    2 It's not a small minority.

    They are a different race the government acknowledged that by bestowing ethnic minorities status on the traveling community.

    They 'might' be a different ethnicity, but they are the same race as any Irish person.

    Race and ethnicity are two very different things. We are the same race as people from Nordic countries but ethnically we are different. The only reason travellers have veered away from us genetically is because they tend to marry cousins. That doesn't make them a separate race though.

    Perfect.

    So let’s test your theory. Give us a surname and location and we can put that into google along with the word “court” or “arrest” and we should return zero results, righ?

    Well thats your experience and thats great, Im delighted you have had a good experience with them.

    What was the capacity or circumstance? Age range of those you dealt with?

    Unfortunately, my own experiences differ.

    What do you have to worry about? Didn't you just say 99% of travellers don't commit crime?

    Sorry I had to come back and edit this post. You merely said they were lovely people. Apologies. Well played sir.

    Regardless. If I had a popular name you could probably find people with the same name who had criminal records but if you added my address, would come up zilch. Which is why I said for you to give us a traveller surname and location so we can test your 99% are nice theory.
