In reply to the discussion: Hey America, it's Ireland... [View all]cwydro
(51,308 posts)42. Well, we'll leave it at this.
I'm very sorry that you don't like the Irish.
I do hope that you know it's called "prejudice" when you prejudge an entire group based on an unpleasant experience with a few.
I cannot imagine having a dislike for an entire people.
But of course you do know that the Irish would not give a fig for how you feel. They're a tough group. On the phone with my ex, who said, and I quote, "Fook him, the gobshite." She was laughing as she said that.
You must have had very bad experiences there. I've traveled a lot. I have no prejudice about any nationality I've only met wonderful people wherever I've gone.
Sad for you. Probably best for you to stay here in America with your own kind.
