“Limrick packie shop across away from delz”

1. How does someone from Limerick misspell their own county’s name? Though to be fair that question kinda answers itself.

2. More importantly, where are the social justice warriors at? Why haven’t they sent her death threats, driving her off social media and be deeply offended by this?

Unless of course an actual man called Packie owns a shop across from a man called Del.

I was recently called a Jewish ba****d on Parnell Street in Limerick by a group of traveller lads in their mid to late teens. I’m not Jewish nor do I resemble any of the Jewish stereotypes depictions apart from dark brown eyes. I doubt they even know what Judaism is.

Racial abuse seems to becoming a big problem in Limerick City centre lately. I should’ve reported it at the time but it seems they have some sort of immunity of prosecution. If it wasn’t for work, I’d avoid the place completely.

I find the description quite accurate and it achieves the objective of highlighting the premises in question.

“Shop run by people of most likely Middle Eastern origin” would be needlessly long winded.

Hande hoche!

Wonder how Mr. Bonner is doing these days?

There's no point in burning the world around you down because you feel offended.

I ignore people who are clearly lacking empathy and don't understand how others feel.

They're not to be understood or misunderstood, they're just messers who've nothing else to be doing.

As for social justice warrior's, they're on the same par as the people they're offended by.

Clearly sjws are of the ilk who are usually wasters, unable to make mature decisions, cannot be independent, very much tribal and often absolute hypocrisy in their cause.

I doubt the SJWs even know about the incidents in question. I mean, was the first one actually published? Was the record of the second one even happening for then to be offended by?

It's all about context and intent, OP.

People must get fierce tired seeking something to be offended by nowadays.

I'm not PC, nor am I racist but I don't see any malice in that example.

Here's the thing about this.... it's all bollocks.
This pakistani bloke would have no issue being called a packie if someone was buying something from his shop.

If you want to experience full on racism OP try open a Paddy shop in Lahore. It might go beyond less-than-diplomatic terms in a facebook post.

There is an inordinate number of traveller folk on Parnell St. now that you mention it. Are they there for Luigi's chips or to give some pre-loved stuff into LAW?

You're putting yourself right out there as a social justice warrior. Go on, get it off your chest and say what you are really thinking.

But it's a racial slur.
