Saying shit like this is revolting and bigoted.
We've a bit of a mess over in Irish twitter now because a rake of dopey yanks have waded in and started saying mad shit about how travellers are white therefore they don't face the same kind of oppression they do.
Irish travellers face racialised, systemic, and rampant bigotry everyday. Your history and dynamics don't apply here lads, wading in and trying to apply that framework is a joke and makes you look like cunts.
Now, I know I don't have to worry about this shite here, most of you are sound and not libs, but it needs to be said. Some of the shite I'm seeing yerwan in the screen up there along with her lib cheering section saying about travellers is revolting.
Irish travellers are specifically the indigenous people of Ireland, predating the Gales. They even have their own language.
You sure? Wikipedia say that genetic analysis points to them being an Irish ethnic minority. The pre-Gaelic theory seems marginal...
Oh really? I must read up on it. There was people here before the Gaels, but I suppose they weren't travellers then!
