    Should rap music not be banned in Ireland too then. As it's the single biggest propagator of racism in the world.

    I'd nut if rap music were banned.

    From the bit I've read, it's quite lacking in both erudition and balance. Seems more aimed at finding an audience and being confrontational.

    "Imagine your white friend introduced his mixed-race daughter to you as "n*****".

    Right... because anyone you know would actually do such a thing. This is beyond retarded. Even as a child (thirty/forty years ago) people in Ireland knew that N***** was a bad word, and the vast majority of people avoided its use. And yet, the writer wants to suggest, what? That people are suddenly going to start using the word, and in the most retarded situations possible?

    Love the point that it's a man (his) that's introducing his mixed race daughter as n**** as if this is something that men would be likely to do. There's a double agenda being played here.
