What are your views on Multiculturalism in Ireland? - Threadbanned User List in OP

one of the most difficult things in that type of marriage is saying no to the extended family. Most western men have no understanding so just give in to the demands. Respect is lost from the extended family, and the wife loses respect for the husband. Sure her extended family get to live a western lifestyle at home, but she is under pressure and cannot start her own family as every spare cent has gone home! A native husband would say no to all that crap from the beginning of the marriage

The simple act of saying no and following through paradoxically leads to increased respect and cohesion from all concerned. That said one must understand that there are certain circumstances that one does pay up.. ie the unexpected medical bill, the college fee etc.

I am considered a revered uncle(and the wife a revere aunt) by the extended family, because we are reliable in times of genuine emergency or to get a relative through college, or a loan for a plane ticket to take up a job. My MIL hated me because her casino and "face"(ie showoff) money disappeared overnight. Wife was delighted i took the stand early in the marriage

Met the wife here in Ireland. She came here as a skilled worker. While there is some chinese heritage in her culture(and her gentics) the men are in charge. Holdover of centuries islamic(light) dominance then followed by centuries os spanish occupation.

We are an unusual match as in we are professional and financial equals

the dregs of white guys you find in Thailand and Phillippines are most definately not socially conservative. They have high rates of welfare dependency, are more likely to be losers at home and suspect most have a prediliction to the underage. The Brits among them would almost universally come from a Labour supporting backround

There's a crock of something at the end of some rainbows

I like the one about Tír na nÓg myself

That or the Giants Causeway one

Um, you do know what being Incel entails? They wouldn't be having a relationship with a woman if they were Incel. Now, bitter over having been treated badly by western women, and choosing to get an Asian partner? Yeah, sure, there's quite a lot of those kinds of Western guys in Asia. Seems a lot of men don't like the bias in western culture that favours women over men in legal matters such as divorce, or child custody. As for the girl, being exploited, it's unlikely. The places these guys meet these girls are usually chockablock with pro's. Women/girls who have dated foreigners before, and if we're talking Thailand/Vietnam/Cambodia/Philippines, then, they've likely had some experiences as escorts. "nice" girls from those countries don't tend to date most foreigners, until they've been cleared by a member of her family. Anyway, Asian women are more than capable of protecting themselves, having had to deal with the aggression that comes from the men of their ethnic/cultural group.

You seem to be crisscrossing movements or attitudes here. Anyway, Asian women will appeal to those on the right because most Asians appreciate the value of conservative/traditional lifestyles. I suspect everyone to the right of being left is a supremist to you... Although it's worth pointing out that many Asians can have white skin. Even without the skin treatments, some Asian ethnic groups historically were paler than other Asians. Not all Asian ethnicities are the same.

That we should be approving their applications faster... I doubt many of them would be willing to drop the multiple rounds of appeals so that administrators can focus on those in the system.

Deportations of those here illegally, or those who have had their Asylum claim denied, would free up loads of resources, allowing us to cater to the needs of the Ukrainian refugees. However, I agree with you that these refugees are here for the long-term. Thankfully, the focus is on them working, rather than providing Asylum-like supports, so there's scope for the economy to grow. We're likely to see a rash of small sized companies spring up, especially in tech, which is something the Irish economy kinda lacks after covid and past recessions.

But yes, we're setting ourselves up for a fall.. but there is an opportunity here too.
