While it's true there has been a mahussive increase in reported racist incidents in Ireland I think it's also true they didn't record them until a few years ago.

I see the racially obsessed prick MrDominated is posting under a a multi after his main account was soundly thrashed by his own posting history. Seriously, a request to the good England guys, keep your house in order please. Lots of people browse this site during the six nations. I don’t want people thinking he represents you or rugby.
It's a wind up. I felt inspired after reading through MrDominator's posting history for anything that contains Saxon, Celt or Gael.

Very amusing.

You're right. Phil Vickery was the reason and was always a very overrated prop.

Precisely.

It's like class - the biggest snobs are always the lower middle-class, because they fear being lumped in with the working-class.

wtf ?
the only real difference between lower middle class and working class, is that the former perhaps seek more to better themselves & their offspring. you can get snobs in all walks of life, even reverse snobbery where some Brickie would sneer at his next door neighbour for having gone to Uni and working in an office.

Vickery was terrible. For a prop of his years and reputation, he was demolished. I wouldn't have considered him over rated. He was a good prop.

My own theory is that that Saffer team too was filled with dopers.

I have a clear recollection of Vickery being subbed during an England game. One of his team mates was prostrate on the ground with an injury.
Vickery walking from the pitch with no obstruction in sight on the pitch, managed to walk on his team mates ankle as he exited the pitch.
It was almost deliberate.

Stupendous.

My family and I experienced not a hint of racism in Ireland, despite my Mother being virtually the only dark skinned person we saw in the entire county of Cork while we were there. One of the friendliest and most genuinely welcoming places I’ve ever been to, which doesn’t explain the swarm cvnts on here

Vickery struggled against France on occasion, one half of two games v SA, and for Glos v Reynaud Peillard of Perpignan.

He was an excellent prop

The answer is in your post. You were in Cork, an oasis of charm, civility, and good taste, and and therefore avoided the more obnoxious swarmists who inhabit the eastern part of the country. 8)

So rare to come across a nice post on PR :thumbup:
A pleasant one to report also. While we had no reason to expect otherwise before travelling there anyway, my Mum couldn’t stop raving about the Irish people after we left. Growing up as very much the “other” in rural England in the 50’s and 60’s she got used to a certain unease - they would have been one the only dark-skinned family in the entire area at one time, and while she never mentioned many instances of outright racism there were often obvious tensions. I would hope it’s quite different there now.

She felt none of that anywhere in Ireland. Maybe it’s different for Eastern Euro migrants, I wouldn’t know. African migrants, also. But I’m not articulate enough to properly describe the relief she felt at able to fully relax in that environment.

PS my skin tone lightened considerably over the years so I could pass as any run-of-the-mill Paddy while there. Not exotic enough to turn the head of any Colleen or Siobhan :((

I work in a multicultural environment and I’ve had that same kind of sentiment from other nationalities who live both in both the UK and Ireland. Felt more of an equal in Ireland as one put it.
Again, can only speak of my own family’s experiences.

What's this all about then? Are you Sephardic?
Mother's father English Jew (ashkenazi), her mother Burmese-Portuguese (and also Ashkenazi in there). Her mother grew up in the subcontinent and was very dark skinned, my mum took after her.

Yeah, the Euros really put it about in the colonies and the humidity in places like Sri Lanka and Myanmar seemed to have driven the Northern colonists particularly troppo. We know little of the Portuguese strand, or much more of the Burmese either really as after my grandfather whisked my grandmother back to Kent following the war (he was a Major, her a nurse) she lost contact and didn’t speak much about her old life.

Is Ireland a racist society? Many immigrants there believe so

Bridget Kelly of the Galway Traveller Movement said her community faced daily discrimination in the areas of accommodation, health, employment, and education.

“Being refused access to hotels and pubs, being unable to get a house when people find out you are a Traveller, you feel ashamed of who you are,” she told the hushed attendance.

Whenever you meat a black person in Ireland /Wales /Scotland they come out with the same maxim, 'It's a lot less racist here than England'. Everyone knows where the home of racism is. The same country who were conquered by the French-Normans.
