Hello welcome to Ireland. Before you enter, we must determine how white you are, ask you about your religion, and measure your skull.

    Really? Yeah, an American didn't know whether or not Ireland was racist, ignorant American, blah blah blah.

    But you guys are really gonna fault someone from a white supremacist state for being nervous??? Cause I can fucking tell you, this calculus is a necessary one when I go to a new part of town. When I go on a road trip. When I go to certain stores. You know that some municipalities fund almost everything by targeting passing-through brown people for tickets, right? You are really fucking deluding yourself if you don't think people are running the numbers on every meeting, every club you invite them to, every time you organize a night out or drinks with friends. Just in case you didn't know!!!! It helps to have an idea of if the people you're going to be around will fuck with you!!!!!

      This isn't about being worried about racism, it's specifically the way it's said that has complete american race-science brainworms. I will never take anyone saying something like "I'm 47.3% white" seriously, or anything remotely close. This is not normal behaviour.

        Do you know what it is like to be a mixed race person in the US? This person is clearly having some problems with internalized racism and the fucked up effects of living under a white supremacist state and y'all are sitting here acting like they invented it themselves.

          I mean obviously i'm not really blaming them, they're just doing what most people do in america it's a systemic thing, as you said a white supremacist state. This isn't really about saying they're specifically weird, it's more shock and confusion at seeing americans be this fucked up on these topics for people outside of the US like me. I can't stress enough how fucking weird it looks. I know why it is like that and I don't really blame them, but I still don't want to act like it's normal.

      Yeah this is crazy that we're making out this person concerned about being a victim of racism as the one at fault

      The Joke is her Delusion , (which is propably also your Delusion) . She is Assuming that she is traveling from the most Multicultural place into a homogenes white (therefor of course Racist) country. And its actually the other way around. You Americans never grasp the extend of your racist reactionary Island wierdness and indoctrination , it is very funny for the rest of the World.

      Just one example --> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_Socialism_(Germany) <--
