I’m fascinated to see who they think is going to nominate them. Whatever about Flatley, it seems very clear that McGregor has no route to the ballot paper.

It was a kid from Darndale’s hand. He blew it off messing with gas. It’s just sad, not funny.

If this many people told me my goofing around was tired and kinda racist, I would be mortified. As kindly as I can say this… isn’t it weird to neither have nor want to have any interest in other cultural perspectives?

So 2 years ago, for part of the island. Good to know the legacy of colonialism can be counted in months. 🙄

Do you get the difference between mocking a marginalised, stigmatised language and the language of empire? It’s punching down vs punching up.

I was just thinking the other day, I wish there was a non-evil platform to just see my friends’ holiday snaps/pets/wedding/baby pics again, without having to worry I’m going to accidentally get radicalised.

Irish people enjoy humour that is funny. If you make jokes about Irish being silly or how we love potatoes, expect a long history lecture.

It’s the same joke that’s been made 10,000 times before and it’s not as hilarious as ignorant people think.

To be fair, they need the most help. Irish speakers don’t even know what’s going on.

Why is it ok to make fun of Irish names? Do you do this to names from other cultures? Irish pronunciation is actually far more consistent than English (ghoti for fish) but they are different sounds, because it’s a different language. If you don’t know, just ask. Learn something new.
