Thread Name: BS: Are we anti-Irish?
Subject: RE: BS: Are we anti-Irish?
So I take it you never lived in the UK throughout the troubles.

The debate originally concerned if and why their was/is anti irish feeling in the UK. Despite all the posts from people living in the UK to the contrary, it isn't good enough? Despite the many posts accepting that the anti irish feeling (held by a minority) stemmed from seeing our kids blown up, it isn't good enough.

Those who are unhappy with the answers given should ask themselves why? If some want to percieve racism where it doesn't exist, they are trying to validate their own agenda.

Meanwhile the Irish and English will continue to live very happily together over here. There will be racism directed at every nationality in our society by someone. It isn't exclusively set aside for the Irish in any country. Some of you seem to wish it were.
