Why are all irish taxi drivers racist ?

Lucozade man · 17-02-2011 04:34PM #1

I have met very nice taxi drivers over the years but even the nicest gentleman taxi driver said to me those blacks all look the same coming over here fruading our dole.

partyndbs · 17-02-2011 04:35PM

yeah thats kinda true, ive been in cabs with some real nice guys and then one of the guys will mention 'the blacks' and the taxi driver will like go into a big rant

Damn you to hell.

that's not racist. that's observational. they do all look the same. i used to work in one of those refugee centers and one day heard one of the on the phone to someone back home telling 'um this was "the land of milk and honey"

Uh oh....

Pure Sound · 17-02-2011 04:37PM

Thats not true, its wrong to generalise, I have come across plenty of non rascist taxi drivers who wish to embrace our non-national friends

Gunsfortoys · 17-02-2011 04:39PM

How was he a gentleman then?

Your attempt to make up a story which leads to anger and resentment has failed. Try harder or give up.

Yeah I had this one fella kept calling me a whitey and a cracker.

I was at a bus stop and this African lady was getting onto the bus in front of me. She had a pram with her but it wouldnt fit so she left it behind her. I asked her why are you leaving the pram there for. She said it didnt matter and she would get another free one off social. I was shocked.

And then it turned out the guy who paid her bus fare was in fact THEE Mr. Springsteen!

I've heard this one a hundred times.

WindSock · 17-02-2011 04:44PM

Because their jobs are under threat by immigrants the most, there is naturally going to be some bitterness from some of them.

pawrick · 17-02-2011 04:44PM

yeah have to agree, my mate Olatunde Adedayo is the most black taxi driver I've met...wait what?

urban myth

FreudianSlippers · 17-02-2011 04:48PM

Because most of them as with a high percentage of people in Ireland are uneducated simpletons.

pawrick · 17-02-2011 04:49PM

bet they all vote SF too!

(thought they needed a mention seeing as Ned O'Keeffe has usurped them today on boards)

I believe you.

Really.

mikemac · 17-02-2011 04:49PM

Sugarfree knows it's an urban myth

I first heard that one about the prams in 2002 in Galway.
And over the years heard the same story all over the country

I heard they get thousands to buy cars as they claim they deal with racist behavior on public transport.
So they need cars to avoid this.

FreudianSlippers · 17-02-2011 04:50PM

I have about 20 free prams off the social and I don't even have a kid.
