    The only people I see getting offended by this are ultra PC whites trying to tell people what they should be offended about.Reminds me of the time I encountered a group of American tourists berating a young Asian chap for wearing a T-shirt with a large Swastika on it.The young chap was totally confused and bemused as to why those people were angry about his choice of clothing.When I politely explained to the arrogant Americans that the Swastika was an ancient religous symbol in this part of the world and that the lad had not a clue what their ranting about nazis and concentration camps was about...Their reply "well he still should not be wearing the damn thing":rolleyes: ...I give up!!

    Tell the truth, this didn't actually happen did it?

    I'm delighted that you took the time to go through all my posts to come up with such a sound and clearly objective analysis.

    How old was the lad? They speak excellent English there so i can't see why he didn't understand them and the usa had a military base in the Philippines during world war 2 so i can't see how he wouldn't know about the nazis

    Just admit it was a lie?

    My 2c..

    I'm black Kenyan and have been in this country about 4 years now.. And in that time I have experienced xenophobia maybe twice and that too over the phone as I worked in customer care.. In one of the instances it was actually a East European who called me a black f****** c**t, " I wasn't even offended( maybe I'm just thick skinned,- forgive the pun)
    I honestly think there is very little racism in this country, and and if you speak cordially to most people, you will get on fine..
    Happened to be India for about 4 years as well and the amount of open racism I faced was unnerving, was actually amused when Indians were up in arms when their was a spate of muggings in Oz of Indian students claiming racism
    Obviously there will be racist people. In Kenya tribes discriminate against each other as well
    Ireland in fact I think is very tolerant.

    For an English speaking nation ,Ireland is by far the most racist. The Irish refugee system is the worst in Europe compare to other EU countries.They institutionalise refugees in bad conditions isolating them from society. Ireland has the lowest rate of granting refugee status in the whole of Europe, it was in the newspaper some time last year.

    Maybe it's because we were a soft touch until Michael McDowell did something about it
    With tallying completed in all 34 counting centres, 79.17% of voters wanted to end the automatic citizenship right for all babies born in Ireland.

    The government said change was needed because foreign women were travelling to Ireland to give birth in order to get an EU passport for their babies.

    Ireland has been the only EU country to grant such a right.

    There is obviously a lot of things that you dont understand."They speak excellent English there" :D...Well here's news for you,Majority of them dont.."usa had a military base in Philippines during world war 2 so I cant see how he wouldn't know about the nazis...here,s more news for you..the Americans there were fighting the Japanese not explaining to the Filipinos about the nazis,plus the guy in the T-shirt was not 80 years old.Perhaps mister Orange you need to get out and see the real world instead of sitting behind your computer insulting those that have.

    refugee activists meetings ! I would like an invitation , a few days in Paris, Rome or Madrid/ Barcelona would sort the whiners out or maybe a ticket back home would do the trick ? If I arrive in Nigeria or Congo tomorrow where is the nearest "refugee activist meeting" where is the fairness in the whole "economic migrant scam" ?

    Unfortunately i can't, poor internet and common power failures, also as im an very religious conservative country theres nothing like that on the tv, all part of seeing the real world i guess.

    Though maybe you should switch over and give those fairy tales a quick break since it sounds like you've forgotten what's real and what's make believe.

    i went into a taxi the other day, it was a black taxi driver.

    At the end of the journey he thanked me for getting in his taxi, i was shocked and humbled.

    Once they qualify to stay its straight up to the social welfare and then off to the council to get a house and integrate themselves into society. Theres no discrimination here when it comes to dishing out welfare and free houses.

    Reading through some posts on this thread it's clear that racism is truly prevalent in Ireland.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,637 ✭✭✭Show Time



    Pathetic
    He is right.


    Where is the welcome center for Irish refugees in the Congo or Nigeria??

    If a family of six from Dublin arrived in Kano what could they expect from the local Government?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,395 ✭✭✭✭mikemac1


    Irish missionaries I suppose

    Isn't that given as a reason that so many skip countless safe countries and arrive here.

    They knew a few Irish missionaries and so chose Ireland

    There's definitely a bit of discrimination.. but really, if a white person in Ireland is treated badly by someone... we typically just put it down to that person being a bit of a "****". Whereas black people here would tend to think they are being discriminated against and don't really acknowledge that some people are just arseholes and the whole situation probably had nothing to do with their skin color. At least that's my theory.

    travelers are without a doubt discriminated against more so than anyone else imo
