The Savage Eye: Why are the Irish so racist?

[ParkParks93]

Ah feck there's a load of people arguing in the comments... shut up! :)

[DoctorWhoSkyrimFan]

Jeez. We're not racist. At least I'm not, nor is anyone I know. Therefore, not every Irish person CAN be racist. God.

Also, Gaelic is spelt GAELIC, not Gallic.

[Drogsboy97]

@DoctorWhoSkyrimFan Your overly sensitive....

[ShadowsOfLight526]

lol irish ppl

[fiftytwoweeks]

@Zlem117 Feck off.

[BJMCM11]

some of us are actually racist. The rest just find racism hilarious.

[Zlem117]

I have a brough(Irish accent for all the people who don't speak Gallic) (Gallic is the irish language.

[Ian147100]

@Zlem117 Surely you mean brogue? Gallic s synonym for French! Either you are an absolute peasant or you are not Irish. I suggest the latter.

[westmeath42]

@Zlem117 you spelt Gaelic wrong you idiot.

[RicTic66]

Check US/Irish history and see just how intolerant and rascist the Irish were towards African Americans,, like burning orphanages & lynchings on the streets of New York ,, Also fascist groups like the blue shirts and De valeras support of Hitler.. Another load of everyone hates the Irish baloney The Irish make pretty good haters too..

[hayleybaileybob]

Awh here im a Cavaner hyy :D

[CaFFoMuSiC]

@hayleybaileybob Cyyyyyyyavan? hi? cyyyyyyyyyyavan? cyeeee

[Whimbi]

Ha...My dad's from Cavan, showed him this...not amused...but he's a cheap cavan B***d so who cares what he thinks...

[stephenkemmy]

Obviously these people are ignorant if not stupid too.

I had to leave Cardiff in Wales,UK and return to Ireland because of English racism and discrimination.

Racist means that you view other people as inferior and subordinate to you.

The imperial English and the imperial Americans have always used racism to justify their abuse of other people.

So on the contrary; the Irish are victims of English racism.

[libertycaps666]

@stephenkemmy wait so you had to leave wales because of english racism?? you do know wales and england are two different countries mate

[tuberobotto]

@stephenkemmy I hope you pardon my asking but are you insinuating that the Welsh people are also capable of racism? Weren't they victims of that as well when they often get alluded to as a charcoal miners people plus the fact that Irish and Scots accents get quoted in any media except the welsh accent? I hope you can get me enlightened, thanks

[WishMonkeyscanskype]

We don't wear straw in our clothes "/

[tipdrinker]

irish are racist, just look at how they treat their own minority, travelling people

[MsGera1994]

they r racist?? =( but i like them

[extra330ss]

Yep Americans are racist bastards.... But that's what keeps us interesting eh? Now factor in the fact that I'm of Irish descent... Awwwwee hell, that makes it even better hahaha

[alley7712]

They are racist,fom the moment i entered Ireland I'v been exposed to racism from the taxi driver that drove me to my hotel to the hotel staff to my solicitor to my next door neighbours. If you tell them they are racist then they say get th fck out of my country or it all in our heads. Check their facebook friendslists how many black friends do they have. They work all over the world,Australia,Canada,America even Dubai but as soon as a black person land on their soil then ur taking off their jobs

[Zigactly]

the people who made this video are calling US racist?

[mathsprofessional]

The Irish were the ones that created the KKK upon arrival in the U.S.A. But I still like the Irish.

[theciaram1]

@mathsprofessional you lying s.o.b the K.K.K were PROTESTANT , the irish that arrived in america were mostly famine immigrants who were CATHOLIC , dont get me wrong there couldve been a few irish in it or head of it in their town but they did not create it , it was the incest of the south who created it

[thecraighi]

@mathsprofessionalYou are absloutely wrong, the klan were formed by WASP confederate army vets and the were extremely anti irish and nativist. You are absloutely wrong

[93rardo]

@mathsprofessional

Really? I thought the KKK was not huge fan of Irish catholics. Or do you mean the KKK was set up by Irish protestants?

[djleesus09]

@mathsprofessional go learn something.. The first Klan was founded in 1865 in Pulaski, Tennessee, as a terrorist organization by veterans of the Confederate Army.

[ScotiExile]

@mathsprofessional Yeah that was the ulster/northern Irish protestants who were settlers from scotland and some english.

[IrishHermit]

@mathsprofessional The KKK was created by white protestant men who hated Irish Catholics as much as African Americans.

[paraicmag]

@mathsprofessional Bullshit! The KKK was created by ex-Confederates in Tennessee to promote White Protestant supremacy and keep Blacks and Catholics in their place.

[0oPadmano0]

@mathsprofessional emm where the fuck are you pulling this bullshit from?The KKK was started by Confederate veterans after the civil war.Why on earth would you make up something like that?

[CrackaPackify]

@mathsprofessional Just as well you're not a history professional - the KKK was founded by Confederate veterans in Tennessee, and at least one of its incarnations espoused anti-Catholicism and anti-immigration.

It would be, at the very least, counter-productive for (mostly) Catholic Irish immigrants to suddenly say 'you know what, we hate Catholics AND immigrants!'

[WishMonkeyscanskype]

@mathsprofessional  Awwwh like you too!

[charcoasian]

really? that's why there were signs "no dogs, no blacks, no Irish" because us Irish were self hating racists? go back to school pal

[xCraiig]

@mathsprofessional I never heard of this before, so i did a Google search.

Apparently the KKK has either Scottish or Scot-Irish roots, neither of which are Irish.

Another clue is that they got their Cross burning tradition from Scotland, and hated Catholics, which the majority of Irish people were at the time.

[AnaRchyxAeonzZ]

@mathsprofessional most of the irish didn't go to the south

[hillman39]

@mathsprofessional The Irish you speak of were Scots Protestant. Not what any right thinking person would consider proper Irish. How could we be racist anyway? Up until 20 years ago the entire population of foreigners (excluding English and we have a right to hate them), amounted to about 17 people. We weren't given the opportunity to be racist even if we wanted to.

[eastatwat]

Classic Paddies, always fighting, turning a funny video into a heated argument about race.

[Ronan12100]

"Im going for a shit,are ye comin? I might aswell :D

[LordShivasServant]

"I'm goin' for a shyte, are ya comin?" I wont be able to sleep tonight, I'm going to systematically burst out laughing ever 20 minutes over that one.

That picture of the Garda is classic. So much disdain in that look.

[ronan3005]

[sledgerira10]

[sillyjontag321]

[gavrokk]

Nah in fairness, the majority of us are fairly racist, homophobic and hate foreigners. I'd say i'm easily one of if not the only very few people out of my school that doesn't care if someones black, asian, gay, muslim or christian.

[JalexBarakarth11]

C'mere hey!.... "I'm goin' for a shite. Are ya comin'?" "Sure I might as well" xD Oh lord. It'd be like something and irish lad would come out with alright! xD

[ToxicMushroomz]

C'mere hey, I'm goin for a shite. -Cavanman.

[damvid21]

We aren't racist here in Ireland, just very xenophobic. There is a difference.

Funny sketch though, The Savage Eye is brilliant!

[nilbud]

@damvid21 You're just xenophobic, you should try to overcome it.

[Ilovethewayulie2001]

I'm from Cavan, AND PROUD ^-^

[James123iiRiSh]

@Ilovethewayulie2001 im ashamed of u ╭∩╮（︶︿︶）╭∩╮

[ScotiExile]

I'm not racist, I just think the Irish are better than everyone else.

[triggersprollie]

@ScotiExile i agree

[MrVault43]

@ScotiExile But Irish isn't a race...

[WhiteWeasel420]

In your Opinion the Irish are Racist. People only say that because they are white LOL

Anti-Racism is a codeword for Anti-White

[kives1985]

@WhiteWeasel420 What the fuck are you talking about? Anti-racism is anti-racism you piece of shit. Don't know about Ireland, but in the US, non-white people are usually the ones that suffer from racism the most.

[nilbud]

@WhiteWeasel420 No it's anti-you.

[charliec8765]

i'm from cavan and thats a pretty acurrate depiction on the cavan accent..!!..

[TheUltimateCondom]

i don't think we're racist, i think we just take ethnic jokes VERY lightly.

[darraghc123]

Hahahah its funny cos we acctually say '' Im goin for a shite ''

From a Dublin lad :)

[rurya]

[connorjjg]

[MegaSkylar4]

Why on Earth am I here?

[TheFireroom]

@MegaSkylar4 Cuz ur mammy and daddy!hahaha

[stucknad]

No one telling Japan they have a "race problem" and need to mix with non-Japanese. No one telling Africa they have a "race problem" and need to mix with non-Africans. No one telling Mexico they have a "race problem" and need to mix with non-Mexicans. This is happening only in White countries, in White children's churches, in White children's school. It's a sophisticated plan to genocide the European people out of existence. It's genocide.

[Hajeh22]

Could be worse, you could be from Dublin, thats right, I said it.

[Foloman1]

@Hajeh22 It's Dublin people that keep the rest of the country going! We pay the most tax but get the least benefits.

[sasukelover8296]

[FalloutMassacure]

@shaqueenthompsontv no matter where u go people are still racist

[CHRISTEN9844]

@shaqueenthompsontv the irish are racist whats some examples you can give me

[mossy121c]

@shaqueenthompsontv That has to be sarcasm right? Yes there are some racist people in Ireland, but Not a huge amount. As for an american having to visit Ireland to discover racism? This coming from someone who lives in a country where an organisation like the KKK is not only hugely popular....its LEGAL!!!!!!!

[DarkWizardMonkey]

@mossy121c I pray for the day when they're all rounded up and shot

[BeerDiddleyBeer]

@shaqueenthompsontv Racists are everywhere Im afraid.

[samsemtex]

@shaqueenthompsontv ARe you fuckin joking? In comparison to most countries there is fuck all racism here. Try going to Australia or England. Better yet look out your own back window. An american calling another country racist is highly amusing.

[platblackpromo]

@samsemtex Balls.  I am from America and have lived here 6 years. I find a lot more racism here than any where else. Two words... "Derry-Londonderry". The phrase, "An american calling another country racist is highly amusing." is fucking racist anyway.

[jackmcc91]

@platblackpromo Thats not racism ya plank. I think you mean sectarianism. Anyway seein as your an American and don't have a feckin clue you have no right to judge on the matter.

[TheJamesk86]

@platblackpromo how is that racist u tellin me there is only one race of people in america.

[irunlikeawelshman]

@TheJamesk86 YEAH YOU KILLED ALL OF THE OTHERS

[platblackpromo]

@samsemtex Balls. I am from America and have lived here 6 years. I find a lot more racism here than any where else. Two words... "Derry-Londonderry". The phrase, "An american calling another country racist is highly amusing." is racist anyway.

[TheDominionOfElites]

@samsemtex Haha, Ireland is so racist compared to England, its just that everyone here is white, the most difference in cultures is some eastern europeans, so you dont get half the opportunity to see racism in action.

[nilbud]

@TheDominionOfElites It must be great to know so much with so little effort, truly your parents were twice blessed.

[theworldisfucked1]

@shaqueenthompsontv think were bad? then move a little bit next door to England.................and do not tell them your a foreigner.............
