I think you need to look up the definition of racism.. Irish travellers are genetically the same as settled Irish people.. No difference just choose to live their lives in a different way.. There were no discrimatory comments made either... "Nope. All populations are genetically diverse. Racism is a social construct that contemporary cultures use to discriminate against a perceived minority or those who are perceived to be different from the predominant ruling class. However; "Genetic analysis has shown Travellers to be of Irish extraction, and that they likely diverged from the settled Irish population in the 1600s, during the time of the Cromwellian invasion of Ireland. The centuries of separation has led to Travellers becoming genetically distinct from the settled Irish." And also; " ... the recognition of Traveller ethnicity is an acknowledgement that Travellers experience racism and discrimination. Last month, the Joint Committee on Justice and Equality said that “travellers are, de facto, a separate ethnic group. This is not a gift to be bestowed upon them, but a fact the State ought to formally acknowledge, preferably by way of a statement by the Taoiseach to Dáil Éireann..."" So, my definition is the legally and scientifically agreed upon definition. | |||

Nope.
All populations are genetically diverse. Racism is a social construct that contemporary cultures use to discriminate against a perceived minority or those who are perceived to be different from the predominant ruling class.
However;
"Genetic analysis has shown Travellers to be of Irish extraction, and that they likely diverged from the settled Irish population in the 1600s, during the time of the Cromwellian invasion of Ireland.

So, my definition is the legally and scientifically agreed upon definition. "That maybe so however there were no racist or discriminatory comments in this thread..point I'm making is any discussion that involves black people or travellers someone usually jumps in screaming racism when there was no such thing.. Political correctness gone into overdrive.. | |||

Irish Travellers are a ethnic group because the law and the science supporting ethnicity says so.
Thankfully neither take your opinion into account. "Well science can always be debated and the Law isn't always correct, just because there's a law for something doesn't mean it's the right thing. Look at some of the mad laws we had here in the past or other countries. Only the "settled" travellers have a bit of sense, the others are too busy boxing the heads off each other for any common sense to get into them or their communities. | |||

Look at some of the mad laws we had here in the past or other countries. Only the "settled" travellers have a bit of sense, the others are too busy boxing the heads off each other for any common sense to get into them or their communities." Science can't really be debated. That's why it's science. Better science can disprove poor science,but you don't get to debate it simply because you don't agree with it. 2+2=4,if you think that 2+2=67 you're wrong. You can argue all you want about it but you're still wrong. And we're not talking about the moral value of laws, we're talking about whether or not the law recognises Irish travellers as a separate ethnic group. Which it does. So again, regardless of your feelings on the matter, Irish travellers are recognised as a separate ethnicity. | |||

So as such I'll attempt to do the same.... You say "a bit" of racism, like that's ok, "ah sure a bit o' racism is alright now and again" - but really and truly, it's not. Because that permissable bit snowballs... It gathers momentum, and bit by bit it becomes more acceptable. And racism should never be acceptable. And you can't permit racism based on intentions unfortunately, "Yeah what he said/did was racist as hell but he meant no harm.", the problem with that attitude is that said individual continues to be racist, continues to say or do racist things, and other impressionable people might see and hear that and think; hey! racism is acceptable now! cool! - and out come the Klan robes - see the phenomenon of the (thankfully) soon to be former President Trump. And as for people trying to be funny, well, they have to try harder. Racism simply is not funny. It is targeting a particular section of our species and mocking them for their culture. It's not funny. And frankly it is VERY low hanging fruit in terms of humor. Tldr - racism is not funny or acceptable in any form. | |||

Because that permissable bit snowballs... It gathers momentum, and bit by bit it becomes more acceptable. And racism should never be acceptable. And you can't permit racism based on intentions unfortunately, "Yeah what he said/did was racist as hell but he meant no harm.", the problem with that attitude is that said individual continues to be racist, continues to say or do racist things, and other impressionable people might see and hear that and think; hey! racism is acceptable now! cool! - and out come the Klan robes - see the phenomenon of the (thankfully) soon to be former President Trump. And as for people trying to be funny, well, they have to try harder. Racism simply is not funny. It is targeting a particular section of our species and mocking them for their culture. It's not funny. And frankly it is VERY low hanging fruit in terms of humor. Tldr - racism is not funny or acceptable in any form. " I didn't say it was okay you are inferencing this from somewhere else. I was saying the first thing you referenced was the only thing that was rasist. And yes it's not on. But some people might not of had the opportunities to know it's wrong...(whole free will issue etc). Hurtfully jokes about race yes are bad. But race should become like hair colour. And also hunour in it is good. Like my friends or groups I know are a mix of races and make fun of each other. That's a world we want. Not an ironically fascist one on speech. And Bat I am not saying you are suggesting that I agree with most of what you are saying. | |||

"Must not mention tarmac." Or dodgy generators and power washers.. There was an interesting case there recently where 2 traveller men convinced an old lady to buy a huge amount of power tools and generators etc well the little old lady had a room full of tools that she "bought" from these 2 men.. I actually laughed when I saw the photo.. Not to mention taking over public roads to do sulky racing and organizing bare knuckle fights to defeat the family honor because 1 called the other a stupid name | |||
