    I appreciate that you took the opportunity to parade your liberal credentials but I wasn't asking you.

    Open forum, I wasn't only replying to you, and I calls it when I sees it.

    Think about what I wrote though.

    You mean that as a joke but it's a fact that if you enter the number fifty-eight thousand and eight into a calculator and turn it upside down it says "straight white men are terrible, just terrible".

    Ah ok

    At some undefined point in the future you assert that the entirety of Europe, America, Australia and New Zealand will be populated entirely by black abd asain people.

    Yep

    Laughable nonsense and scaremongering.


    If we're all going to be black, can I be Jamaican? The accent has a quare effect on the wimminz I hear.

    I think Herb was parading basic mathematics there actually. :)

    The bould Herb might want to whip out his Folens maths book then. There are not six million Irish people on this island.

    A million see themselves as British up north, we have 544,000 non Irish residents in the south as of 2011 and inward migration is at 56,000. The native Irish population is nowhere near six million.

    What's native Irish ? You mean white people born here ?

    From the earlier article posted by user MadsL -
    DNA testing through the male Y chromosome has shown that Irish males have the highest incidence of the haplogroup 1 gene in Europe. While other parts of Europe have integrated contiuous waves of new settlers from Asia, Ireland's remote geographical position has meant that the Irish gene-pool has been less susceptible to change. The same genes have been passed down from parents to children for thousands of years. 

    This is mirrored in genetic studies which have compared DNA analysis with Irish surnames. Many surnames in Irish are Gaelic surnames, suggesting that the holder of the surname is a descendant of people who lived in Ireland long before the English conquests of the Middle Ages. Men with Gaelic surnames, showed the highest incidences of Haplogroup 1 (or Rb1) gene. This means that those Irish whose ancestors pre-date English conquest of the island are direct descendants of early stone age settlers who migrated from Spain.

    Grotesque comment. Making holocaust jokes and references because I simply stated that the Irish are a distinct ethnic group? The article clearly states that the same genes have been passed on for thousands of years and that most Irish people are direct descendants of the first inhabitants of this island.

    So if I see myself as African, will I then be of an African ethnicity, thus doing my part in reducing the "Irish" population?

    Not exactly how it works.

    Anyway, your figures still show the whole idea as being utter nonsense.

    I suggest that when you finish with the Folens maths book to look up a Eurostat document entitled "Fewer, older and multicultural? Projections of the EU populations by foreign/national background" by Giampaolo Lanzieri and then get back to me if you still think the idea of us becoming a minority/plurality in our own country is utter nonsense.

    It's far from it, I'm afraid. It will happen in my lifetime. You can scoff all you want but Lanzieri is the senior statistician at the Statistical Office of the European Union. As things stand, we have the fifth highest foreign born population, per capita, in the EEA.

    So are we suggesting that a few people sharing genes with ancestors is some kind of master Irish race ? Focusing on a tiny part of ones DNA without taking the whole into account is pretty bad.

    No, I'm saying that the Irish are a distinct and unique ethnic group. Do you dispute this?

    From the earlier article posted by user MadsL
    Just because there's a high incidence of a particular gene doesn't mean Ireland is full of pure breed people. We've been invaded countless times, By french, Spanish, English. My name is originally french, you'll find there's probably as many foreign names as there is Irish, and even names we think are Irish come from some other part of Europe.

    Ireland didn't live in Isolation at any stage, we were always trading as can be proven by the fact animals like cattle and sheep aren't native to Ireland. We're not even pure homo sapiens, we have bits of other human like animals in us when homo sapiens migrated out of Africa and started riding the neanderthal people they found in Europe.

    People always mingled, the further back you go the more they mingled, because our ideas of nations didn't exist to them, they could go where they pleased and mix with whoever they wanted.

    I said that the Irish are a distinct ethnic group not a pure race. There is a difference between the two. Ask Herb to root out his old school dictionary to lend to you when he goes looking for that Folens maths book from his mala scoile.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,789 ✭✭✭✭ScumLord


    Thinking about the time when Ireland was plundered for slaves there's probably authentic Irish genes all over the world. I know there's plenty in the black people of barbados, they even kept the Irish accent in some parts of the Island..

    The whole idea of a pure ethnic groups is the biggest load of bolloxology there is. Pure ethnic groups would be a genetic bog where genes go to die. The human animal has always gone to great lengths to spread it genes far and wide and outside of it's immediate groups, you could even see that desire as the route of a lot of nomadic cultures.

    I'll scoff away biy.

    Not a single one of the four models he presents shows Irish becoming a minority in Ireland. In fact, barring two or three countries, nowhere in the EU will experience a minority of native-born.

    Only a self hating sadist would cheer on and welcome becoming a minority/plurality in their own native homeland. What is the point of this country, if not a homeland for the Irish people?

    The thing is a majority can't assimilate and become like the minority present. When european countries do become majority migrant and their descendants, it'll change forever. You only need to look at Sweden and the UK to see the majority of migrants stay in ethnic enclaves around people from their home countries or similar cultures. If you move to a new country why would you assimilate? I totally get where they coming from.

    If I had to move to Germany for work because Ireland was hypothetically poor and there was a large irish immigrant population there then I would stay amongst irish people . I wouldn't go through the trouble of learning german or 'becoming german' because well I like being Irish and I like speaking English. Im only here for economic reasons.

    And thats how it is for the vast vast majority of immigrants.

    It is now racist to not want to ever become a mere minority in your own country? This is pure insanity. Outside of the western world, you would be laughed at if you suggested that the natives of a country should welcome immigration so far as to become minorities in their own land.

    I can't give you any examples. I'm talking about my views on where I live, an area that was 90% white Irish when I moved in is now about 50% Irish, it's one of the most multicultural parts of Ireland, my son's school is the most culturally diverse in the country ( 90% non irish background although most of those were born here)

    You know what? This area has only improved since outsiders started moving in. There is a better community spirit, more community activities and any problems here are almost exclusively caused by white Irish people. So, no, I'm not afraid or concerned. The people here are normal families just trying to get by like everyone else. The area I grew up in is still almost all white and I wouldn't want to go back to that.

    You must live in Fingal. Have a look at the housing list and rate of welfare reliance of the new arrivals in that area and then tell me again that everything is grand. Over half on the housing list are non Irish. Over a quarter, non European. The figures are all available online and in the CSO offices.

    It's a United Nations welfare centre. You might get the warm and fuzzies but without massive continued government expenditure these multicultural places would fall apart. Then the fun and games would really start. Is this model feasible for the rest of the nation? It's a socioeconomic experiment and a very expensive one at that.
