    my yt description explains what it is about if you don't want to watch.

    "Racist idiot in Dublin first says he's not racist & then moves his camera to a black couple minding their own business & then starts harassing women, with young children & even the babies, asking the women, who look young themselves if they had robbed any nappies"

    Why are you posting this?

    The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in Egypt. I am the LORD your God.

    Fair question. I have debated on boards plenty of times before about racism & immigrants in Ireland, people on here have told me racism literally just doesn't exist in Ireland anymore, it's a liberal country, LGBTQ rights are some of the best in the world and abortion was legalized and left-wing parties & movements are more popular than ever, I think those things are good & important but racism certainly still exists here. They're obviously a minority of Irish people but a more significant minority than people would like to believe & far-right parties are also growing & I'm sure their rhetoric helps embolden racists here like Trumps rhetoric did in the US.

    Although I'm sure some people will enjoy this video for it's content as racism against Irish travellers & Eastern European Romani people seem to be the last acceptable forms of racism in Europe.

    Who in their right mind would watch that video though?

    Anyone saying that racism doesn't exist in Ireland is clearly posting in bad faith. Posting this video won't change that one bit. I'm not sure why you thought you'd change anyone's mind by post in.

    Do you think we don't realise racism exists in the country? I still don't see why you posted that cr@p.
