Alright. So, we've then come to the conclusion that the term British (or Brit) can be used in two ways: 1)used by those living in Great Britain that voluntarily choose to identify themselves with the term only because of the area in which they live or because it's written on a passport or someother form of official documentation
2)Used by "one who sticks to the remnants of British Imperialism"

And so then, when asked if the average Brit is anti-Irish, if dealing with #2 usage, the answer would be unequivocally yes precisely because they stick to the remnants of British Imperialism.

And I can see why so many were frustrated and kept saying, "No, my passport says this and I'm not anti-Irish!" and so on. Yes, I have finally seen the light! Now I understand why our English mudcatters were getting heated. Sorry, lads, but I too was at fault here, thinking narrowly of the Brit as in definition #2 because those are the only Brits I know. I know plenty of Englishmen and Scotsmen, but they are English and Scottish to me, not British. And now I get it! Christ, that took me forever. :)
