    We're talking about the bareknuckle guys here.

    Like I said they can box but trained boxers they ain't.

    But you can see the attraction ........ if you want a bit of rough, girls

    First, Travellers are not a "race" - it's a way of life.

    Second, they are people, you're right, and I'm glad we all learned something of novel intrinsic value tonight.

    Third, whether or not they identify as part of a community is their own choice, but if anyone goes to YouTube to instigate violence then they're worthy of condemnation.

    First,
    race
    reɪs/
    noun
    noun: race; plural noun: racesa group of people sharing the same culture, history, language, etc.; an ethnic group.

    Second, getting clever with someone only works if your first point isn't completely wrong.

    Third, part of a long standing cultural tradition and it doesn't effect me so I try not to judge.

    They share the same history, culture, and language as the rest of the Irish people, didn't you know? I can certainly recognise calling them a minority group in society but going so far as differentiating themselves from the rest of the Irish people as a distinct "race" is beyond nonsense.

    So I infer from your last point that given that female genital mutilation is part of the cultural tradition of parts of sub-Saharan Africa, then you approve of it? Since when did using YouTube become a "long standing cultural tradition" by the way?

    Moreover, you're saying that if a non-Traveller were to engage in this type of hatred then it would be bad, but if a person who self-identifies as a Traveller, then it's kosher.

    If we're going to be pedantic about things, how exactly is this thread racist? Does it display prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism against the travelling community, or against a few people who like to punch each other in the head? As far as I can see, it's been limited to the later.

    People who actually understand this issue disagree with you.

    Ethnicity/Race/Who cares, they have a distinct culture, history and identity to the settled community.

    I do. And I ask the question again - has that ire and antagonism been directed at the travelling community or at some people who like to break the law by wilfully punching each other in the head - specifically Joe Joyce?

    Criticising the behaviour of a minority travellers who choose to engage in illegal activities is no more racist than criticising the minority of Muslims or Chechens that choose to blow people up.

    People keep using these words, "distinct culture, history and identity", can you please tell me what, in real terms, this actually means?

    It's nice and poetic and would fit neatly into a stanza, but provide more substantial evidence of this because it doesn't appear too readily to my eyes.

    Read through the thread again, take note of all the posts about people other than Joe Joyce, then when you've a grasp on the situation I'll deal with any points you might like to make.

    Most seem to be quoting or paraphrasing bare-knuckle boxers who post videos on Youtube. A minority may have gone further than that, does that automatically make the thread racist? I don't believe it does.

    I wouldn't consider this to be unique, sounds like a lot of country accents to me, but I'm from Dublin so I'll give you this one I guess.

    Aka illegal activity. Also it's a fair point, pro fighters would beat the crap out of them IMO - not racist

    I'll give you this one.

    Res ipsa loquiter

    Calling people who clearly engage in illegal activity vermin isn't racist. It's directed at Joyce and his ilk again - not racist

    Why is he being called stupid? Because of his culture and his unique brogue, racial characteristics

    Impersonating their unique dialect

    I wouldn't consider this to be unique, sounds like a lot of country accents to me, but I'm from Dublin so I'll give you this one I guess.

    So am I, I know what a traveller sounds like and so do you I assume that's why you gave me that point

    Threats of violence

    Threats of violence against Joe Joyce - not racist

    If we ignore the reason forthe threats then yeah it's not racist, but aren't the alleged threats made by Mr Joyce on video the reason you think this thread is ok?

    Studies have shown (apparently) that travellers have a lower life expectancy than the settled community. Looking at these clowns that comes as a bit of a relief! Culture my arse! Downright thuggery without consequence!

    Please don't make sweeping generalised statements about a community based on the actions of a few families.
