Definitions of "bigotry" and "racism" vary quite a bit, depending on who you're talking to, but yeah . . . the Irish are certainly "racist" . . . it's part of the culture. But then again, so are Blacks and Asians (especially the Chinese) . . . part of their culture too. I hear the Germans and Italians are also somewhat racist. In fact, talking shit about people who are different from you seems common to nearly every nation, race, religion, and creed. They only seem to bitch about it here in America . . . and only when "privileged White males" do it . . . in fact, I've even heard several Libtards state that "it is impossible to be racist against White people." As long as no-one is actually being beaten, persecuted, or denied employment based upon their race/religion/nationality/whatever, I fail to see how this is still considered a "major issue" anymore. So someone overheard a slur and got their feelings hurt . . . that's life, deal with it and move on.
