    I dont think we're that racist any more mainly due to catholic schools letting in non catholics

    Ah but mimicery is very common, too common, and you can take it as a joke but there comes a limit, I was absolutely BADGERED with dumb fat American jokes when I first moved and the teachers did little to stop it, my sister used to come home and cry over it (my sister was seriously bullied over it), and I know kids can be cruel, but when I hear some of my neighbours use certain words and I know the stories from when I first moved its still very common and you know the kids picked it up from somewhere.

    In my school it would be a terrorist joke - a paddy joke - terrorist - paddy

    You could not insult my english mate. He was teflon. A master of taking insults.

    My asian mate was much the same - asian joke - paddy joke

    I've actually never experienced proper racism

    I mean I've had random ejits saying stuff as they walked by or maybe a group of teenagers on the street or old people looking at me all weird but in school or elsewhere during conversations..I never got anything haha. And this is in North Dublin!

    Maybe I'm just a very lovable person :pac:


    Or maybe cos I'd be the first one to start the foreign jokes..:o

    Anybody here watch Revolution? Some are saying its deplorable but I like it. It's certainly better than the muck on the TV for the rest of the summer anyway.

    Jaysus, things really can escalate quickly. I take it your American so?
    Did you find us irish spoke very fast when ya came here first? Cos I remember not to long ago we had American cousins over and they asked us to slow down our talking cos they couldn't understand us as we were talking too fast haha and I found they were talking quite slow haha


    Do other nationalities take the piss out of themselves as much as the Irish do?

    That seems uniquely Irish. Makes us hard targets when we laugh at insults.

    Tunak Tunak Tun was a tuuuuuune in the gaeltacht. Always ended in a mosh. Guy got kicked in the face once and that ended that.


    And Danny that is the hight of laziness.

    Would a crazy person admit that they're crazy?

    I'm not crazy

    I'll let you think about that for a bit..

    After spending 8 hours picking stones yesterday, 4 this morning and about 5 hours using the chainsaw today, I think I have a good enough reason to be lazy :P

    And i don't get paid for any of this work either :/

    Before the leaving, that work wouldn't have knocked a feather out of me :/

    Yeah I know those kind of people :p

    I haven't watched a Bollywood movie in like 7 years..even then I didn't watch it cos I liked it and I don't really know any Indian music.

    I'm perfectly happy with my English TV shows and my 1990-2010 rock, punk and alternative music :pac:

    Hmmmmmm, well the opposite, actually having been considered a slow talekr in the states I was told I spoke sooooooo fast over here, as for other nations taking the piss out of eachother, you dont, not when you've been over there for a while, people become very proud of their ancestry.

    Must have just been the part they came from so.
    Irish are proud of where they came from to. We make jokes about our selves the whole time but if anyone else does it we get offended haha
    Tis like if your givin out about a member of your family and then if someone outside the family agrees with you, you start to get offended and start giving out to them haha

    My asian mate was much the same - asian joke - paddy joke
    It's kinda about context though, isn't it?

    Mate vs. mate ... slagging and insulting one another is normal, and just part of the craic.

    If a stranger came out with some of the same lines it would be a much different matter. Even someone you might "know" but not get on with that well.

    And you can usually tell from tone and body language whether someone is just taking the mick for the craic, or there's an undertone of spite there.
