i dont think he was being racist he did say he was sorry for causing offence

His language was inflammatory and extremely insulting and he was clearly singling out black immigrants as the focus for his wrath. As I pointed out before I personally blame the goverment in ireland as they have in my opion casued this feeling amoung irish people espically when if we need help we are told no, were as an immigrant seeking help in ireland get money each week, money for cars, new house and money to furnish it Ive no problem with that but If the goverment put its own fist i dont think there would be this problem

There is nothing that infuriates black people more than white people telling them they have 'issues' or 'a chip on their shoulder' or that they are 'bitter'. Im very sorry I didnt say you had a chip on your shoulder I meant you are clearly not happy and you cant expect to give out about Irish and expect no one to say any think As LONDONUCK said, the attitudes of many irish folk is like 1950s Britain and, according to the Dublin City University magazine, less tolerant than other european countries and I'd have to agree. You are an immigrant in Australia and I'm sure if you were constantly told to go back to where you came from No they just try and rob you blind here its a very what can i get from this person although I did have a so called friend give out about people emigrating to Australia and being able to work there by complete strangers or had your change thrown down on the counter when you went to the shopI have got that in our local shop in dublin and else were in Ireland (instead of given to you in your hand), it wouldn't be long before you were 'bitter' too. yes but Im not the one doing it nor do I agree with that kind of treatment of any one

This thread was started by someone who was thinking of moving to Ireland and we dont know whether he is black or white so xenophobia here could be a factor in his deciding whether to come to Ireland or not. I have made my feelings clear on the place and so I'm bowing out of this forum but not before I share with you a comment I found in another forum elsewhere. I hope this isn't against the rules but it summed up living in the west of Ireland quite well I thought!


<SNIPPED OUT QUOTED TEXTED>

- Due to the unique isolation and misery that this country (at least the countryside as far as I can tell) has suffered for generations, most families are inbreed and share the same surname, even husband and wife. As a consequence it is my belief that this is the reason why there are so many retarded people around where I live and even apparently normal people are quite weird.

Good luck to one and all!
