    Minimum requirement for what?

    Any observer of American films and tv could tell you that its on spring break that the bad stuff happens. At least you didn't go to somebodys cabin.

    Not a cabin. But his condo.


    My friends were washing their clothes and I was at the bar asking for a cup of coffee. Some dude next to me asked if I was wanting an Irish coffee. I told him no.

    The dude then starts in on some Irish jokes. He said it was fine to insult the Irish since he was half-Irish and half-Italian. Then he said, "What does an Irish man say to his wife in the morning? Nut'n, honey. (It's a cereal here). What does a black man say to his baby mama? Nuthing bitch." So then he launches into black jokes. I finish my coffee and pay the bartender. She gives me an apologetic look. I mumble something about needing the manager to throw this guy out. The bartender looks at me then the guy and says, "He is the manager."

    I walk away, back to my friends. The dude follows me and starts in on more racist jokes. My two friends were English so once he heard their accents, he calmed down a bit. He asked them if they had ever been to Boston as that was where he was from. He was completely drunk and my friend thought it was particularly hilarious to have a conversation with this dude. I don't remember much of that conversation but she started asking about where he lived. He told us he had a condo not far from the bar. There was a large pool out front. He invites me over but I decline. My friend accepts. My other friend agrees to go back to his place. They talk me into going so that they can swim.

    So they finish their laundry and off we go back to his place. He shows us around. My talkative friend grabs the remote and turns on the tv. It was on a porn channel. She asks if she can order a porn movie and says go for it. He brings out drinks and snuggles down next to me. We're all watching porn for a bit; he's getting ideas about him and me. My friends "excuse" themselves to change into their swimsuits. I jump up and start looking at his photos. He's like some martial artist. That distracted him until my friends came out and we went out to the pool.

    They all jump in the pool. I sit in the lawn chairs watching. I'm a bit concerned because ol' dude was still drunk. He climbs out and starts giving me lap dances. I push him away but he keeps coming back. Eventually, he realizes that he's not getting any from me so he kicks us out.

    Would you say ABE's are racist ( those who attitude in competitions is Anyone But England? )

    Reminds me of a teacher at school who was given a tin of biscuits at Christmas once. he refused to accept it as it was " Made in England". Said teacher used to say " burn everything British but their coal". I would say we have had a few racists over the decades too.

    While I can't say I would associate that stereotype with the Chinese, a great deal of stereotypes are largely true regarding the group at which they are aimed. It would take some level of idiot to deny that, as a group/ culture, the Irish like a drink, for example.

    Her Chinese comment was just the tip of the iceberg. None of what she was saying was justified or true and it was all hate-filled.

    Well, if you don't know what they are, why are you blathering on about them?
    In my opinion though, a soft approach to crime and anarchy is no better than a heavy handed one. Society should expect more from everyone - underdog or not. I appreciate that some people have an affinity with minorities (and black people in particular, maybe) because they feel as though they have experienced discrimination themselves. Some women, for example, might feel that way. Then you have people with ironclad ideologies who wear rose tinted glasses. Is it equality we actually want? Should everybody be expected to at least know right from wrong? I think that should be a minimum requirement.

    I'm still wondering why you brought this up on a thread about racism?

    Given out internationally renowned unwillingness to bother pronouncing our h sounds (resulting in the turty tree and a tird demands) I should think most Irish people call themselves Catlicks!

    Do the Italians have a beef with the Irish or not? I remember on The Sopranos (which has been lauded by ex mobsters and those in the know as being very true to life) Chris was dreaming that he went to hell- an Irish bar where it was Paddy's Day every day :pac: (as well as Kent Brockman and his "everyone is Irish, apart from the Italians and the gays" bit.). But then again, both sets were conservatively Catholic, are the main culturally obvious working class white groups in the North East, and the Irish worked/ work closely with the Italians in organised crime.

    Sicilian immigrant Salvatore Lucky Luciano redefined the Sicilian American Mafia and structured it into Five Families in 1932. He had grown up in a mixed community so he would have spent his formative years in street gangs with plenty of Irish and Jewish kids. So in NYC at least that's where the working relationship in organised crime came from with the Irish and Italians.

    The Italians still always viewed them as lackies though and not equal partners, Their Cosa Nostra was structured with set rules and ranks and codes stemming from the original Mafia groups in Italy, 'the man of honour'.

    Irish gangs were free for alls full of degenerate thugs using excessive violence and drawing police attention. They weren't street smart, the Italians were more refined and savy and would only use brute force when neccessary.

    In my experience, through many interactions with Africans (& I served in Sierra Leone, Rwanda & Djibouti), an awful lot of them do have a chip on their shoulder & are just as rascist as white supremascists.

    I am late to this party but I am calling BS on this post.

    I am Rwandan, and we may be many things, a few of them quite unsavoury - see genocide - but we are not known for being racist towards white people or xenophobic. We reserve all our hate for our own people :o.

    There's a large expat community here and many of them almost always end up staying longer than they intended because they feel welcome.

    In addition, the Irish population in Rwanda rarely goes above 30; what do you mean by "served"?
