Are Irish Travellers discriminated against in the USA? Probably, most ethnic groups in the USA face discrimination.

Larry contends that the Toogood case has been sensationalized in the media because she is an Irish Traveller. That is nonsense.

The Toogood case has been sensationalized in the media becuase she was caught brutalizing her child on videotape.

As a television news director, and former television news reporter, I can assure you that any mother caught brutalizing her child in this manner on videotape, be she WASP, Jewish, African American, Asian American, Hispanic, Arab, whatever, will receive exactly the same treatment.
