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

Sure that's fair. I also find Americans' passion for keeping track of ethnicities past idk grandparents to be bizarre and tiresome. But I was reading through the comments on the original Reddit post and people were like, super offended that OP is afraid Europe's racist lmao

As a mexican, I've had 2 friends get assaulted by locals in Ireland, in different trips, so yeah, pepper spray may be a good idea.

han de ser de varo
It wasn't a mugging, it was assault. A hate crime.

I live in Dublin right now. In general the normal rules of society dictate that its weird to talk about race and you're going to lose friends and acquaintances if you bring it up as a negative. Except against the travelling community (that's kind of an indigenous white people group, that's a whole other weird thing). Where you would run into trouble is there are a lot of people who are basically outside of society due to poverty and basically lack of an opportunity to be part of it. Wages have been down since 07/08 a lot and even before the neoliberal squeeze was on. On top of that there is near zero class consciousness in spite of much wider unionization than you see in the states. These people would have basically died if they lived in the states. And the kids of these essentially outsiders in their own country don't buy into social rules because why the fuck would they do nothing for them and specifically target them as worthless. That's where you're most likely to hear an N bomb and get punched. Its different to the American version of this in subtle ways that are hard to explain, like it seems much more likely to happen to someone who's visiting than some black guy who has obviously lived in Ireland his whole life. Even then its unlikely unless you go into bandit country. Where that starts and ends can be hard to tell though.
The bit seems like "applying how Americans talk about visiting nonwhite countries to an extremely white country" but the path there is a little muddled
Yea
Sometimes people ask me advice for visiting South Africa, I told them your skin colour wont really matter much. They will know you are a tourist and that is more dangerous than anything, since they know you are an easy mark.
So stay inside the safe bubble of tourism, don't try to venture out, or you will very quickly find yourself in the real Africa. Travel with a tour group to the safari and get back to the hotel with a group.
