> It's very rare to find an Irish person who is racist towards the British

Oh come off it. No it's not. Unless you're in deep denial about what constitutes racism.

> Your whole comment is vastly exaggerated.

Maybe we have different lived experiences? We can both be Irish and have very different lives and experiences, small country though it is.

For me, nothing I said is exaggerated. Irish people do hate to state things directly though, and I'm used to be told to be quiet whenever I speak out about our issues.

> There's Americans reading. Don't be giving them the wrong ideas, they've enough to be dealing with.

Ok can't argue with that one.



Another Irish person here… Going to have to agree with biorach on this one, but not by a lot.

The Irish that are racist against the British are, in my experience, the American who have things to say about other groups, ethnicities, religions.

Not uncommon, not prolific, but not the crowd you’d go hang out with either.
