I wish I had a joke about drinking problems...
On stupid_free, [info]gridlore posts link to an account of an occasion where he, quote, "met rudeness with snark". Specifically, some black girl didn't want to sit next to anyone, tried to make him give up his seat-with an empty one next to him-and he made fun of her in a very House-like way. Everyone hastens to call BS. Incidentally, all little old ladies speak English, and GridLore doesn't get to complain because [info]thexphial's Jewish ancestors were lynched.

Please, no Irishbashing.
EDIT: Personally, I would've just gone "Yes." and kept on eating my Vanilla Frosty. Now at Wendy's!

Oh noes! You can't complain or call BS on me because I'm [insert minority/majority/supposedly oppressed group of your choice]! I also can't be racist because I have black friends! And here are my thoughts on yaoi!

As usual, it's the series of "YOU ROCK!" comments that are making me ill.

"The vote. Your franchise. Do you have the ability to secure credit under your own name? Can you, if you wish, apply to be a firefighter or police officer? Do you have a legal identity that is not attached to your husband or father? Are you judged on merit, rather than gender, at your place of work? In short, do you enjoy all the rights and privileges of a US citizen regardless of your gender?"

She said "Yeah," to that? That proves he's lying.

Oh, no, please do bash the Irish. We're pretty good at fighting back, it's all the practice we get from beating up our cousins and getting into fights at bars, donchaknow. When we're not running around in the woods worshiping trees or hurling. (Sports or vomit, take your choice.)

*******end horrible stereotyping******

Gah. I hate the American Irish 'defense by victimhood' more than almost any other one. If someone in Ireland said it, I might buy at least some of it due to horrible personal experiences based on national troubles, but I've never heard anyone say it who wasn't at least second generation AI (or further). Having an Irish last name doesn't mean you get to claim racism is against you unless you're Shaquille O'Neil or Soledad O'Brien.

You live in America, Paddy Faux'Reilly. No one enslaved you here. Probably no one enslaved your ancestors any more than every other non-noble family in Europe was treated at one point or another anyway. Gah!

Oh, I see. You're from Connecticut. And Bridgeport to boot. You're not even a real New Englander. No wonder you're putting on airs.

What?

We were eating troll-meat for breakfast when you were barely one step above a pap smear.

What?

Collective "women's studies"/community college OH NOES remarks: what?

Still:

But if you can parade your ignorance as an excuse to heap upon a complete stranger who's "crime" is not giving up his seat when other's were available, then I can use the crappy day I just had to call you out as a sorry excuse for a human being who obviously still lives with their mother and couldn't successfully debate their way out of her womb.

To be a condescending asshat makes that guy's English grate! Hee.

Please, no Irishbashing.

Please, can we quit it with the stupid please-no-bashing jokes? It was funny, a long time ago, for all the wrong reasons. I have a Master's degree in Teh Funneh, and I'm writing my thesis on how jokes get funnier the less often and the more appropriately they're applied.

(Not that anyone's allowed to bash my thesis except the examination committee, mind you)

Haha, yeah, I splooged all over that thread. He just really pissed me off with the "learn some bloody history" thing. I know the Irish immigrants didn't have it easy. My ancestors didn't either. It really doesn't matter now, though, because he's not facing current discrimination and neither am I. That was my point.

Has this guy not realized that discrimination against African Americans is ongoing, whereas discrimination against the Irish is not so much? Or maybe I've just been amazingly lucky in my not-being-discriminated-against and have been blind to the suffering of my Irish-American brothers and sisters. Or half-brothers and half-sisters, really.
