Although I hate it I don't really know how it feels, (I have had a few experiences of it in America and did not like it at all) and I am just so sad that you are finding it so prevalent. All I can say is that we are not all like that, and hopefully there are enough of us who aren't to shame the ones who are acting so disgracefully. Good luck!

But I agree with Jenny that it is also important to remember that not all Irish people are racist assholes. Just try to hang in there and do what you can :-) Jesus, that sucks!!

I am back in the UK now and I will never ever set a foot in Ireland again . As far as the Irish are concerned , every black person is a refugee. Hi,
