Racism alive and well in galway bay hotel where 50% of the staff are from other parts of the world, can someone explain how can a glass of ribena be misconstrued as racism, god help us in this little country entertaining race baiters like this. But looking at this ladies twitter feed she seems to find racism in everything irish. Happy new year to all boardies.

How do you manage to give someone blackcurrant instead of wine? Bizarre.

I’d like to know the full & true story here. You bet there’s more to it than meets the eye.

Stupid thick bitch should be banned from Twitter. She’s got mental health problems and should not be allowed to spout such stupid crass nonsense on social media.

She’s the classic example of a fùckwit.

All very strange - but how did it happen in the first place?
It is a long time since I bartendered but there is no way I can imagine anyone mistakingly serving blackcurrant cordial for red wine. The only way I can see it happening is if someone else had ordered the cordial around the same time and a server had brought the drink to the wrong table. But in a wine glass and a wine measure - and to someone who happened to have ordered red wine? A lot of coincidence.

Hotels all over the country are checking to make sure theyve ribena in stock so they can boost customer numbers if they see her come in.

I'd say they're all scared sh*tless of her and she's having a good laugh at the expense of the Irish taxpayer, it's her behaviour that helps to foster racism.

Not only that, she's also whipping up the hatred of the people she claims to represent in a fit of outrage against Irish people.

Ah, leave her there, ucd created a Mickey mouse role for her, no doubt on a 100k + salary .
All the Irish universities are sliding down the world rankings but at least we have them falling over themselves to provide scholarships to asylum seekers.
Now we have black studies in ucd so it should help stop the slide in world rankings!

Why did she delete HER apology after the hotel apologised.

She's a disgrace. Blackcurrant in a display bottle that was used mistakingly. If it happened to me and I called racism I'd be laughed at, because I'm white. Now that's racism.

I think people Tweeted that she might have had a case against the hotel!

Yes, theres every chance UCD are going to suspend the black lecturer of a social justice course in the middle of an incident where she claims to have been the victim of racism................

I seem to remember this idiot flipping out about "racism" when questions were raised in the Dail about pretty substantial money transfers from Ireland to Nigeria and that such questions would raise the notion of racially profiling money transfer(which international banking kinda already does. Well in the sense of sending money to high risk and dodgy countries, which tend to be outside the west). Odd when she also goes on about how racism is responsible for keeping a majority of Black people unemployed, which begs the question; where is this money they're sending home coming from? Tens of millions per year IIRC.

Shush now W... don't be bringing facts and reality into this!

Shure identity politics always trumps those inconveniences dontcha know!

You big wacist you!

It’s racist in the same way as when Conor Lenihan told Joe Higgins to stick with the kebabs. It’s an in-joke where you are using race as a means of belittling someone.

The “joke” in this case to identify the customer as a black currant.

I’m not some “woke” new world eejit. This stuff is pretty obvious and people shouldn’t pretend otherwise

If that's true then LOL, brilliant, i wouldn't think of that in a hundred years

That’s a fair bit of a stretch. There is a hotels reputation at stake. The evidence is not there to say the incident is probably racist.

If you honestly believe that someone deliberately sent the wrong thing to a customer you've never worked in food service before. No one would do that on purpose because it just creates more work and more hassle for yourself with zero pay off.

The Satanist

It's like a bad parody account.

It wouldn't surprise me if her angle is to post stupid story, attract racist response, spend 2020 playing the victim.

True T, but the problem is as Mad_maxx notes this muppet is given regular airtime on RTE as a "race relations expert". Never mind that she has a vested interest in egging on the whole "racism" narrative. NB her bio: Author, Social Justice Activist, motivational speaker, Intercultural Consultant, researching race relations, racial stratification & the labour market. It's her job. If the world was entirely free of racism she'd be outa work. You see them in near every modern western multicultural society loudhailing "offence".

Not even a joke just a genuine error because it had been poured from a display bottle that had presumably been left in the wrong place.

Cassis is served in a wine glass, is red in colour & is made from & tastes of Blackcurrant.

Hope that's not a reference to Cassius Clay, cause that's racist too:pac:

I have no idea what's going on here. Is it that someone gave her the wrong drink? If that happens to me I just tell the bar person what happened, they give me the right drink and I move along.
