0019 Traveller Ethnicity To Be Recognised_90504202
Members and supporters of the Traveller community outside Dáil Eireann last night

There were scenes of great felicity
As TDs sought publicity
Among a cheering crowd
Of travelers rightly proud
We’ve noticed their ethnicity

        Only if you tarmac my drive and do an awful job, then leave all your rubbish behind you and wreck the place you’ve decided should be your land.

            Travellers Declared Separate Ethnic Group. ‘At Long Last We Can Be Properly Racist,’ Say jubilant Irish Racists.
            ‘After years of just being prejudiced towards them now I can mock and deride Travellers sure in the knowledge that I’m being really racist!’ one local racist remarked.

            If its true is it racist. Just like chris rocks joke about the difference between “black people and niggers” (i think that words ok in this context), there is a big difference between travellers and knackers. And iv met some lovely travellers but most are knackers.

            Nigel likes to pretend he has ‘insight’ into the bad people and knows them all to be racists. People with an issue with travellers are not automatically racist. This type of labeling is idiotic and prevents people from either side addressing the issues properly. Plse stop.

            Anomanomanom has a point.

            I’d add that 82% of travelers are unemployed. Much of this is related to the traveler culture / lifestyle.
            There’ll need to be compromises to fix this, from both Pavee Point and the govt / people.
            This should not become an identity politics football where everyone in the traveler community / Pavee becomes for all intents and purposes a hapless hopeless victim of the system as that gets no one out, and only entrenches the victimhood mentality, as encouraged by the left. Look at what that’s done for the American black family… quite literally near killed it… great piece on that from Jason Riley here… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BvPpdDrkD8A

      but look at the picture.see the distinctive ethnic garb,the strange facial expressions,the unusual physiognomy.if these proud people are not a race apart well then neither are the HealyRae tribe of southern parts or the elvish OHigginsees from the west.

    Fantastic development. At long last.

    Seeing the number of bigots with their nose out of joint even though it has zero effect on their own lives is hilarious to watch.

    People can be both Traveler AND Irish. One does not interfere with the other.
