    If a non white couple from Nigeria move to Ireland, work in Ireland and eventually become Irish citizens. Would you view the children that they have in Ireland to be Irish?

    It wouldn’t appear so. If you saw black kids in China would you view them as Chinese?

    I don’t think you would.... see people have this distinct, romantic vision of Ireland as a people the same way we do certain other places be they red yellow or black. It is the most fundamental, enduring credibility in the worlds eyes and when we lose our charm it will be gone

    What's is there to debate, you said that believe it or not that you wouldn't have a problem with the actual native people of New Zealand, Australia and the U.S. along with African Americans coming to live here. I simply said that I didn't believe you.

    It’s like a game of pin the tail now

    Couldn’t find it if they tried but Ireland is now the ominous little donkey; amidst all that continental landmass and they can do it blindfolded.

    You didn't answer the question which is more telling than anything else. Your racist as hell and you've got a long history of being so. Supporting the likes of Orban is like backing a modern day Mussolini so I would say you also have warped ideals.

    If they're born in China and have Chinese citizenship. Yes they are in fact Chinese. Are you saying Paul McGrath or Phil Lynott weren't Irish because they weren't white? See how idiotic that sounds...

    But you’re not seeing their documentation.....It’s not apparent, you may overhear them in conversation which might lend a clue but not at a glance.

    Phil and Paul were mixed race. And a rarity; they were a breath of fresh air you could pretty much take it they were irish but then that was back before free travel became so commonplace. Back before people became weary of the impending relentless influx of immigration...

    Calling someone racist does not shut down debate. But that Tommy Robinson is racist is not up for debate.

    People are just calling anyone with an opposing view to someone who is pro open borders a racist rather than actually wanting to debate the point they're trying to detract from the debate and/or they don't have a valid argument against such a person. If TR is such a racist then why does he get so much support from non-whites.
    There were loads of " non whites " at the FREE TOMMY MARCH Last June.

    He has non white friends and supporters. How can you call him racist? He has a problem with Islam, which is a religion not a race.

    it's all about what persons skin colour / sexuality / gender / religion is when it comes to the so called tolerant and so called diverse "left"

    You know Irish tourism is pretty much constantly increasing? Pretty confident that non white Irish people is not going to put people off from visiting. Tourists come here to see sights, Eg the Giants Causeway, The Blarney Stones and ancient castles. A Guinness experience etc as well. These aren't suddenly gonna disappear.

    Btw, I've worked with Indians for years, I fecking love the various Indian festivals. The food is lovely and it's like a party. This doesn't take away from Irish culture, the diversity enriches it further.

    The variety of food that you can get in Ireland is actually pretty great for tourists and Irish people btw.

    Maybe you should get out more?

    You can go back before countries enforced any immigration controls and see the chaos caused by people emigrating in their tens of thousands to America in the 19th century. I mean you only have to look at the state of America today to see how the Irish ruined the country. They came over and didn't even speak the language formed gangs and virtually took over a number of police forces.

    Ah here.

    Like I've said before I'm mixed race. My grandparents arrived in West Donegal from the Caribbean in the mid 40's. This was facilitated by a priest out there when they needed somewhere to go.

    They embraced Irish culture and as a result that side of the family play Irish music, are fluent in Irish and are well versed in Irish culture. So, tell me this, how did they make Irish culture weaker? By being black? By liking spicy food and rice?

    Phil Lynott went down to Chinatown too. As cultural quarters they are fine, and I do like some steamed dumplings or calamari pizza but then I then don’t think anyone’s particularly keen on visiting little lagos anytime soon.

    I hope you only watch TG4, and switch it off when imported shows come on.
    I hope you don't use any electricity, seeing as we import some from the UK, and produce our own with Colombian coal and oil and gas from Arab countries.
    I hope you have no car, and ride an Irish built Raleigh bicycle ( or better yet, a Rudge!)
    I hope you only listen to Sean-Nos, and read Irelands Own..


    But I doubt it.

    FFS, lads. Guinness isn't "Irish culture." It's an English beer, brewed by a multinational based out of London. :rolleyes:

    As to Irish culture, Stephen - bacon and cabbage are grand once in a blue moon, but I've had my fill of freezing church halls where 200 girls take it in turns to dance the same "one-two-three". Although it should be noted the last time I was at a Feis, there were quite a few black African kids taking part. Same in our local soccer (oops, English culture - do you follow a premiership team, Stephen?), GAA and rugby clubs. So much for "not assimilating."

    My Muslim immigrant colleagues talk about what they watched on TV the previous night (Game of Thrones is a favourite), how their kids are doing at school, football and other sports... just like my Irish colleagues.

    And I know anecdote is not data, Stephen, but the immigrants I know from outside Europe tend to be working, and in skilled areas - I.T. and medicine, mostly. The Eastern Europeans, many of whom came over to work on building sites during the last boom - less so. Obviously with many exceptions on both ends of the spectrum.

    I'll take multiculturalism any day, Stephen. It does wonders for the cuisines I can eat, the music I can listen to, the festivals and events I can go to.

    That's not the point that was made, he said a mix match made Irish culture weaker. This is fundamentally untrue.

    Also, they integrated because they were given the opportunity to. Writing people off before they even have the chance isn't exactly fair.

    Those places have a long history of immigration. The US is a country that was built was immigrants and has only existed for the last 300 years or so whereas Ireland has existed as a distinct culture and an ethnic race for over 2,000 years so there is a bit of difference. Immigration is a huge part of US culture bit this is Ireland not the US I also believe that US culture is a lot weaker than Irish or any European culture.

    As I said I have no problem with a small degree of immigration. I am against mass immigration. The immigrants I want are those that are willing to work and integrate into our societies which the Irish have done very well at doing but I don't see that with Muslims or Africans as from what I have seen most appear to want to stay in their own groups with their own people.

    Plenty of immigrants to Ireland that are given just a good an opportunity have not bothered integrating to western european culture and have no interest in doing so.

    Irish people can't emigrate to wherever they fancy without getting visa's / green cards etc. . . why do you think that is ?
    and so why should economic migrants to Ireland not have to ?

    “The emigrants who land at New York, whether they remain in that city or come on in the interior, are not merely ignorant and poor—which might be their misfortune rather than their fault—but they are drunken, dirty, indolent, and riotous, so as to be the objects of dislike and fear to all in whose neighbourhood they congregate in large numbers.” —James Silk Buckingham


    I am haunted by the human chimpanzees I saw along that hundred miles of horrible country...to see white chimpanzees is dreadful; if they were black one would not see it so much, but their skins, except where tanned by exposure, are as white as ours.
    - Cambridge historian Charles Kingsley, letter to his wife from Ireland, 1860

    A creature manifestly between the Gorilla and the Negro is to be met with in some of the lowest districts of London and Liverpool by adventurous explorers. It comes from Ireland, whence it has contrived to migrate; it belongs in fact to a tribe of Irish savages: the lowest species of Irish Yahoo. When conversing with its kind it talks a sort of gibberish. It is, moreover, a climbing animal, and may sometimes be seen ascending a ladder laden with a hod of bricks.
    -Satire entitled "The Missing Link", from the British magazine Punch, 1862

    ...Furious fanaticism; a love of war and disorder; a hatred for order and patient industry; no accumulative habits; restless; treacherous and uncertain: look to Ireland...
    As a Saxon, I abhor all dynasties, monarchies and bayonet governments, but this latter seems to be the only one suitable for the Celtic man.
    -Robert Knox, anatomist, describing his views on the "Celtic character", 1850

    The Celts are not among the progressive, initiative races, but among those which supply the materials rather than the impulse of history...The Persians, the Greeks, the Romans and the Teutons are the only makers of history, the only authors of advancement. ...Subjection to a people of a higher capacity for government is of itself no misfortune; and it is to most countries the condition of their political advancement.
    - British historian Lord Acton, 1862

    It's mad how quickly the despised subhuman Celt became a proud member of the Master Race! Total evolutionary rebuild in... 150 years?

    The quotes are from only 170-ish years ago, when a great many educated people thought that Irish people were inherently inferior. The same basic arguments are being used here and today to argue against immigrants or refugees from the third world.

    Not a fair comparison.

    I have no problem with immigration that is sustainable and fair, for both the people already here and the people arriving.

    Racism means judging people based on the colour of their skin. I do not and would never do such a thing.

    What I have a problem with is the immigration of people who have a backwards ideology who intend to change Ireland for the worse.

    I worked in Estate Agency, renting houses in a rural county town.
    We welcomed Central Europeans with open arms.
    Without exception they were working, in construction, electricial engineering, mechanical engineering and tbe butchery trades. Brilliant tenants, respected their homes and paid rent without fail. African and Arabaic immigrants were all working in the health services to some degree or other, and also great tenants.
    Hospitable people, their kids in local schools and in local sports clubs.
    They have integrated well around here, anyway , and are assets to the community.
    (You mightn't get a hair cut or a shave after lunch on a friday, but thats hardly an huge inconvenience)
    I remember meeting a young couple to show them a house, and they had an old Fiat Panda, stuffed to the gills with everything they owned. They had just driven it from the Polish border with Belarus!
    He was a qualified architect.
    Thats 11 years ago and they are still here with a young family now.

    In the 1840's the people of Philadephia had similar fears about the influx of Irish Catholic immigrants to the city.

    Rioting, dozens of houses and businesses burned out, several deaths and all triggered by a request that in their bible classes, catholic children be allowed read from a catholic edition of the bible rather than the protestant one in standard use in the city.


    If only they'd tried harder to integrate :(

    I'm not an emotional chap but I must say after watching too many gemma videos I as actually quite moved today by an African dance troupe in tallaght, then the leader, a young male teen addressed the crowd welcoming anyone and their kids to call in anytime and have a go and have fun....

    Sort of flies against the bigoted narrative gemma and the roids are peddling.

    Maybe it's time to mute her.

    Also some twat here said the UK have sharia law.... The key word there is "law"... There is only one law... The law.

    There is a large number of Muslims who have very extreme views and literally want to invade through immigration. This is not conspiracy, they openly talk about it.

    But there are many different species. My concern is more ecologic, it’s not something that’s fluctuates it can’t be rolled back I don’t mind a few migratory birds particularly the pretty ones but you forcibly alter the unique ecosystem of a natural enclave and that harmony can fall away altogether....

    I do agree the trafficking of people in the hope they can be forced into work is deplorable though and a thing of the past; we thought but then people will always be hellbent on ravaging their environment so long as it it drives their economy.
