Right, and trust me, if the US could get rich or steal some resources, we'd be right there defending you.
I think the second 3 people we're gathered in the early world, relationships switched from partnerships to alliances, and with alliances come enemies.
It's the beast that lives inside man. We should all get over ancient slights, and sometimes we do, but we have a long way to go and you're right - everyone should be treated well. Except maybe the Brits. 🇨🇮
(I'm joking about the last bit. Mostly.)

My gran told me once that there was a "If you're Irish, don't bother" whem it came to applying for houses, jobs, bank accounts and the like. THat seemed to have been when she was young. My impression in my time is that it's not like that anymore, but any discrimination is totally wrong. Period.

Nobody has had that attitude in England since the 90s when the IRA stopped blowing kids up in Warrington etc.

@thatscottishguy yeah we don’t going around calling each other fenian cunts or hun cunts. Down here your religion doesn’t matter. You’re just a cunt for supporting the other side here 🙃

@SirenCalledLuce Well firstly hun isn't about religion. You should really know the background of why the word is used. Ahh so fighting with someone because they support another team is a more acceptable reason? Going abroad and attacking people for supporting another country is better? The English can preach about tolerance? It is a problem in both our countries. To ignore it is terrible.

Fuck 'em! You're just as beautiful on the inside as you are on the outside. If they can't or won't see that due to their ignorance or traditional ignorance, fuck 'em!

Mind you I have both English and Irish blood in me... probably why I am always at war with myself!

I've visited England several times and generally have positive impressions of the English. But, I was surprised and disturbed by the many anti-Irish comments I heard. I found it most disturbing that they were so made in such a casual way, as though everyone would agree with them.

@LeeInTheNorthWoods That shows something systemic in their view
LeeInTheNorthWoods · 70-79, F

I love how people can say this just doesn't exist bc them and their friends don't experience it. As if they would use the same when talking about racism against black people.
Crazychick · 36-40, F
I live in England and we don't treat Irish or Catholics as enemies. We practically invented the phrase "live and let live".

There's no Orange Order in England, unlike Scotland & NI.

Sadly doesn't mean there's no hatred.
Harriet03 · 41-45, F
