Leo says the Civil Service is 'very white'

the immortals

It's just plainly obvious that Ireland and Irish people are completely Racist, the civil service is like totally white, and wasn't there some young gaa player told to go back where he came from, also imelda mays amazing poem about Irish racism, I'm really glad there's all these ngo's, celebrities, politicians telling me and my family that we live in a Racist country

Sick of all this talk. Ireland needs a credible right leaning party, fine Gael are a bit of a joke.

Is there any bandwagon Leo won't jump on?

The same way a Half-Black one worked in the US. Apparently we only voted for the White half portion of them.

You can no longer use the term 'wagon', just think for a minuite of all the suffering the Navajo, Cherokee and Sioux and others suffered at the hands of white faces scoundrels spreading themselves Westwards across the Americas.


Off now for some right-on yorkshire tea, and couple of wagon wheels.

_Whimsical_

Really quite bizarre that a man of Indian heritage who has risen to the most powerful position in the country after a life of privilege as a Drs son and then a Dr himself, feels that we operate some sort of glass ceiling for non-white people.

I have never heard Leo's race, appearance, ethnic background ever be referred to an issue in any regard.

He himself is the greatest evidence for the fact that race is not a determinant of success in politics here.

You'd swear there was something wrong with being white.

He's making a fool of himself over the last few days bladdering on about removing statues and suggesting there is a big problem with racism in this country when there really isn't.

That's because it's misdirection.

Let's find something to have the prolatariat get roused about while we continue to scheme how to tax the hell out of them without them noticing.

I have to laugh about this. Where were these protestors in March 1991(Rodney King)

Charles Goodridge - Huston 2014

Corey L. Tanner - Florida 2014

Euree L. Martin - Georgia 2017.....

Since 1991 there are a lot of instances of this.

The American people are responsible for this

Then if we look at some information available:

In 2016 a total of 1093 prople were killed by the police in the US.

Of that 574 were white, 266 were black, 183 hispanic, 24 native American and Asian.

And we have an idiot accidental Taoiseach who makes a racist comment.

It make me wonder abuout the intelligence of the Irish people to do nothing about being subjugated by a corrupt government but will march in the streets about an issue that is not an issue in Ireland (until the mainstream media and propaganda wing of the government made it an issue by agenda)

Also, racism is not just about white people, I have witnessed white people being racially abused by non-white people more than once.

Imagine the shock and horror in Leinster House when it was discovered that a country, where over 91% of the population are white, has a civil service that is 'very white'. To correct this error, he would like to use targets for the civil service to hire more minorities.

These kinds of targets are illogical and in no way should a public servant be hired on the basis of their skin colour or race but this is what he wants to introduce.

Is this just another reactionary policy in reaction to the death of George Floyd or does it have merit? Obviously recruiters in the civil service are racists otherwise there would be no need for such a policy/target.

Ha ha ha.........

Apply for ANY civil service job and you'll see THE question most outrageous questions regarding this.

Black?
Traveller?
Gay?

TOP OF THE LIST!

Oh boo hoo Leo, you made it to the top of Irish polictics despite being half Indian and having half a brain. "The civil service is very white"... absolutely shocking in a country with an over 90% white population.

But Ireland 2040 will soon sort that won't it Leo? Eh eh??

Why is it minorities are only allowed be upset?

When you break it down White people are the minority world wide, Whites are outnumbered by Black, Brown and Yellow people from three different "races" ,each on their own out number the amount of White people in the world, but Whites are not classed as the minority.
Would get a man thinking, whats the end game here?

John_Rambo

He said Ireland’s health service is “very diverse” but less so in senior positions, the 'very white' comment shouldn't cause panic or hysterics. Your children won't be sold in to white slavery, even if they're gay.

Calm down it's going to be ok. Right now, there's bigger fish to fry.

It's a basic problem, either import more coloured people or deport some of the colourless people till the numbers make sense

But if white folk move in to a neighbourhood of colour its gentifrication, and that bad, now imagine the outrage if white folk moved to country of colour, we dont even want to think about going down that road, that would be Racist!

Yep. Whites are only 7% of the Global population [and most likely falling] and yet they have the nerve to lecture us on minority rights.

Leo should be more concerned about an unelected junta being in office several months after being evicted from power (and several of them evicted from their seats).

If you are referring to the Provisionals then they were expelled from Sinn Féin for treason in 1986.

And Leo still hasn't learned why he had to suffer the humiliation of having to wait until the 6th count to get elected by his own constituents, why in his first election as leader, Fg got a hammering.

Fg need to get him off to whatever plum job he has his eye on because he may well do permanent damage to what is supposed to be a Conservative political party.

Big EU job is waiting, Ireland the whitest country in the world, stereotyped as men that drink and fight anyone, yet here we provide the EU with a BAME gay Prime minister, the poster child for Multiculturalism, if we can accept a gay man of colour to be leader why not you?
He will be pushed hard on the EU scene in the coming years, AFAIK his sisters all live abroad, so in a nut shell he dont care what Ireland is like in 10-20 years, wont affect his family, he will be in Brussels and sister living abroad.
He has always struck me as a man driven for power, he scraped into power and will now do the EU bidding to hold onto it.
A dangerous man, he is protected from most criticism as it would not be Woke/PC in todays media.

I always thought there were employment laws in place so that someone isn't discriminated against based on the colour of their skin.

No, I mean the ones who think that SF have a right to be in government despite having less than 25% of the vote and no other party wanting to go into a coalition with them because they are toxic.

That can easily be changed for the right skin colour (ie anything but white).

You clearly missed the fact that that fraudulent, treasonous party is not Sinn Féin.

Or Band...most of the major rock bands of the 20th century were white.

Then there's Band Aid. Rich white people raising money for Africa.

Fairly sure SF are treasonous, most likely fraudulent too when you consider they have TDs like Violet-Anne Wynn and Riada Cronin.

Aid is too reminiscent of AIDS which came from Africa.

The Dail of which he is the leader is even more white as is the government.
