Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

You made the point that the ROI came into being in the early 20th century!
I correctly stated that it only came into being in the middle of the century.
You googled it - 1949.
Independence came in 1922.
But as the Irish Free State.
This is all news to you now.
What Republic of Ireland?Mad Men's Don Draper : What you call love was invented by guys like me, to sell nylons.

How did she arrive at that conclusion?

Was she a Boer?
If so, she was probably still sore over Triggers goal knocking them out of 2002 WCQs.

From your own source.To begin, we must start at the fundamental concepts of race and culture. Race is a social construct* that is used to categorize and divide people based on physical characteristics†, which often leads to conflict and oppression.
*Correct
†I'm afraid that that is wrong. That is a biological classification of race.
Example:
The Irish have certain established opinions in society (social constructs) about the English and about themselves, it is these social constructs as evidenced in your own link* that attitudes regarding race, and thus the Irish are based on. In the context of the thread, and in fact from outside a purely biology perspective of it which is the only manner in which the question asked of us by the OP, "Anyone ever nasty to you for being Irish" can be considered.
To clarify, behaviour and attitudes displayed towards the Irish are social constructs and are based on social constructs rather than physical characteristics.
We are not being asked about supposed physical characteristics to classify attitudes towards the Irish, which is what you have posited, which is actually outdated and is only the biological classification of race, but rather with the social constructs with which we are viewed and with which we view ourselves.

Nah its fair to say the english are in general more racist than us. Almost annual race riots, institutional discrimination, far right racist political parties and elected members of parliament, hell even norn iron has become under their administration the most racist place in the developed world. What was that wikileaks where the US ambassador was saying something along the lines of "casual racism is commonplace, these people are living in the 19th century"? Its true, to be honest, although naturally not for all.I just prefer to accept that every country (be it this one or England) has racist and/or sectarian citizens. That's not to negate the experience of people that have been abused (including myself) but you either accept that it happens everywhere - abhorrent as it is - and challenge it on a per-incident basis or you use it endlessly to validate certain preconceived ideas of nationality in your mind.

annual race riots?
Far right members of parliament?
Norn Iron a reflections on the English being racist?
Institutionalised discrimination?
When trolling, it is usually a good idea to at least have some sort of facts in your posts.0 -

Please read what I wrote, rather than making up your own words and responding to them. "Almost" annual. Lets see, thirty in the last century, thats one every three years on average (hey well done, you're overdue), which is one more than "biannual" so I guess my comment was almost exactly on the money.Fratton Fred wrote: »only six years ago, i thought they were annual? at least be consistent, please.
Again with the reading difficulties. One in five people born outside the Republic, remember? That's ten times more than caused the english to burn their own country down.Fratton Fred wrote: »Very few countries have the diversity of the UK. the amount of non white irish catholics living in Ireland is very very low, so there is hardly likely to be any race riots.
Nodin, paging Nodin to the front desk please.Fratton Fred wrote: »the BNP aren't that different to Sinn Fein to be honest. Except the BNP don't support terrorists.
Indeed, taking responsibility for your own mess would be very un-english.Fratton Fred wrote: »Instead of blaming the English for all their problems, BNP supports blame foreigners.
Remind me again, what's the capital city of the UK? And that's before we go back to the ulster plantations where the whole shambles started. Typical english mismangement of course.Fratton Fred wrote: »I know what NI is like, who is claiming the English are in charge of it? they had their own parliament which managed to create an apartheid regime.
Oh the ironing, a british lawyer lecturing the Irish about racism. He must be angling for a job in the civil service, that's the usual deal with these sorts. "YOU HAVE A PROBLEM. And only I have the solution. Now pay me!" Lets see he says "IRELAND’S RESPONSE to a multiethnic society was comparable to Britain in 1993 before the racially motivated murder of Stephen Lawrence, leading human rights lawyer Imran Khan said yesterday."Fratton Fred wrote: »
Since 1993, britain has had no less than six full blown race riots and god knows how many racially motivated murders. Since 1993, Ireland has had, er, zero. I really don't think he has much to teach us on racism.
Familiar with stormfront are you?Fratton Fred wrote: »and that's ignoring the amount of Irish stuff on Stormfront.

I completely agree with you that c*nts are everywhere but how can you come on to a thread like this and give out about people generalizing about you, not liking you because you're from Dublin and then do the exact same thing that they did at the end of your post.
I don't care if its an ongoing joke in Dublin, your posts so far put you across as a hypocrite.
I suppose you called her a 'culchie' after you realised she was from Cork yeah?
I would've taken that bit of his post as a joke in fairness. The Cork V Dublin thing is seen as a bit of a joke in Dublin. No one takes it seriously. Sounds like that girl at the party does though.
I could be wrong though and if I am, then you're right.
Oh why oh why can't we all just get along!
