As a point of information: In USA Today, the one truly national newspaper, they included editorials from five or six (don't feel like going down stairs to count which) newspapers across the country on this case. Not one of them mentioned that she was an Irish Traveller. Those claiming descrimination act as if that is the primary focus of news coverage. So far, in newspaper coverage I have yet to see that connection mentioned once. I think it's fairly obvious that not everyone is judging her as part of the Irish Traveler community if I have seen seven or eight articles so far, none of which mention the Irish Travelers.
