They're not the Right sort of immigrant or multicultural. Same for the thousands of German, French, Italian, Russian, Spanish, British etc White folks living here. Most people don't realise there are over 100,000 British people living here, over 10,000 each of Germans, French, Spanish and Italians. You won't see them in posters glorifying our diversity. They may as well be invisible to the progressives. Like I noted earlier, none of these multiculturalist muppets would dream of suggesting a Black nation is in need of the "diversity" of a large influx of White people, but they're very particular about what kind of "diversity" they want and it's only White people who need it. So Ireland could be one of the most multicultural places on Earth, but if those sub cultures were only pale of face White Europeans that wouldn't cut it. Not even close. You'll note East Asian folks don't get so much of a look in either and are definitely down the hierarchy of what is Correct Diversity. Like I also noted before there is very much a hierarchy of "race" with your progressive types and it exactly follows the hierarchy of out and out racists. They're both just as obsessed by it. TL;DR? the darker the berry, the sweeter the juice of attention and virtue.

There are so many stark hypocrisies and absurdities to be pointed out in this stuff that i'm amazed rational people don't just say enough already of this bull****. As you say, why isn't Japan or China vilified for its policies on immigration/multiculturalism. Whats that about. They are laughing at the West. That Chinese term for this bull****/white guilt someone posted is so on the money it's funny. It's almost natural to vilify white people, despite their societies bending over backwards to accommodate and integrate minorities I'm slow to use terms like Clown World but there really is no other way to describe these absurdities.

I can’t even remember. Coloured people = racist. People OF colour = not racist. A quick google search suggests the second one is indeed racist. So who knows. Carry on. Absolute clown world.
cooperguy wrote: » Why do people insist on ignoring context and then getting offended at someone "only" saying white lives matter. That phrase did not exist before people used Black Lives Matter as a tag line to talk about racism against black people. Its inherently dismissive of racism and tries to minimise the issues.
Deleted User wrote: » Because the sense of entitlement is so strong. They feel that they're entitled to have everything provided for them, so if they destroy everything, someone else will pick up the bill, and they'll come out on top. It's hardly a surprise. Minority activism has been at play for over two decades now, first with feminism, then LBG, and now with everything else, with race having a particular trump card. (longer than two decades, but its presence has been truly strong over the last two decades) The problem with the encouragment of multiculturalism, is that it feeds into creating minorities, all of whom are entitled to be protected. The NGO's, Charities, lobbyists, and activists have ensured that minorities know that they have this "right" to be provided everything on the backs of the white people. Which is why (as Wibbs has said) we never hear that Ethiopia is too black, or that China is too Asian. Instead, Western nations need other racial (and cultural) groups for them to be successful, dismissing that these nations were far more successful when immigration by other racial groups was extremely limited. This isn't about dealing with reality. This is about reshaping reality. Which is why we have this crap with "chop" going on. Or the PC brigade which continues to reinvent itself, reinforcing a creed that seeks to encourage divisions. PC culture tramples on peoples rights to express themselves... and that encourages bitterness and anger, which feeds into racism, which proves that the activists are needed. With activists who are entitled to protection even when they reject the government or every aspect of society in favor of anarchy. They're not responsible for whatever happens because they are either victims themselves, or they represent victims. So, they'll dismiss the systems that keep people safe, and dismiss any suggestion that they're responsible for any deaths or suffering caused by their movement, because they're still entitled to be protected/provided for.... and they're entitled to act against the system that provides for them. The world has gone full retard. I swear China, Russia, etc must be laughing themselves silly right now at the self-destructive impulses of western society. All they need to do is wait, while we tear ourselves apart...

Coloured is incredibly offensive but I'm sure you won't mind. You're entitled to use the term of course, that is your right. But why be offensive deliberately.
Gradius wrote: » It's the rapidity of it all that's astounding. I remember that if you saw a coloured person anywhere, it was like seeing a giraffe walking down the street. Unheard of. To go from that to the likes of your woman in Cambridge declaring that "white lives don't matter" in such short time is genuinely hard to fathom. Granted that Cambridge isn't Ireland of course, but the change in discourse is still awesome in scale. I'm trying to imagine some similarly shocking change in the near future. Watching people go from walking upright to on all fours?? Bizarre.

If you consider that word incredible, you must have grown up under a stone.and lived there until now. Exaggerated bollix, in other words. 4) insinuate that to not follow the mandate passed to you by dopes is to be impolite, an attempt to assert some kind of moral grounding. Also bollix. A 50 year old Irish bloke feigning incredulity on behalf of no doubt some American dope in order to police what another Irish person can and can't say is madness, and in it's own way IS offensive. Offensively stupid, that is. That in itself tells me that my initial observation is still correct, that these are the thoughts of a sap. The good news is that you can stop being that way, it's up to you.

Ireland is being pushed towards the alter of progressive globalism so that it will be sacrificed upon it which is was part of the plan for the international rules based order (aka the liberal west) which took many of it's ideals from the USA but the USA is a created nation not an organic one, hence the desire to tear apart the ethnic identity of places like Ireland so there is no loyalty to the Irish people only loyalty to the political system. Making it worse liberalism along the way decided that the rest of the world wasn't the problem, we were (anyone the white label can be applied to) so need to be "reformed". That's were all of this destructive ideology germinates from and why many do not understand why the system has seemingly turned on them. The eastern Europeans have seen this which is why they are regularly demonized and out right slandered in western media as their governments pushed back against this system. The only way to stop this is to change the culture of the university's producing these people but I fear we are too far gone. The EU is unlikely to survive the next 20 years, Ireland may share the same fate as Britain in orbit of the USA, economically, culturally bound to it (also our security guarantor) but of course we will continue to be remade in North America's image and all of the drama of the USA will permeate Irish society just like the UK.

Nesta2018 wrote: » No, it's the other way round. Second wave feminism was inspired by other civil rights movements in the 1960s. Women took part in these movements and got tired of being used for tea-making and sex. You say women were minorities in industries and employment but for many feminists, it was as much about getting recognition for the vast amount of unpaid labour women do, as well as gaining entry to paid employment. That's a whole other story but your casual depiction of women's struggle for the vote, entry to professions, ownership of property, equal pay, reproductive rights as "minority rights" is very telling.
