Contrary to the casual slur

potatoes

we say spuds.

😁

Tatties, where I come from, but maybe we should consult social media. If you want to know the right name for potatoes, ask a tuber.

Ignore.

Hmmm. Thats not good. Hadn’t occurred to me* it could be a slur. I apologise.

*which is also not good.

Oh fuck off

These are glorious, thank you. The tech innovations one gave me a flashback to the invention of the web and sundry professors telling the IT industry that the internet would be a democratic force for good, a giant library for rich and poor, a PC in every home.

It’s so common, people are so comfortable with taking the piss out of the Irish , especially when mrs browns boys is popular these days, it’s seen as socially acceptable.

How comfortable would you feel taking off a Nigerian accent online or to a Nigerians face.

I appreciate your awareness all the same. Thank you.

Fair play, it might be regional? Or city / county? I’m from the west Limerick hills.

Same for people with ginger hair to some extent, still seems socially acceptable to rip the piss out of someone based on looks.

Why do the English have this thing about the Irish and potatoes ? Oh yes because it’s a culturally engrained stereotype from when they, at best, watched on as a million Irish died of hunger when the famine hit and another million had to emigrate.
Lazy racist trope.

Is it because I'm Scottish that I'm a bit confused about how someone said spuds or tatties or something and now there's people shouting racism?

Meanwhile in Scotland

Why do that call out that he's 'unwed'. Why would that matter?

A prompt to share this on the subject...

This happens, a lot. I'm really fucking tired of it.

Superb!!!

This could have a thread all of it's own.

It must be bad if we're posting Tim Fucking Minchin.

We can also do this to Indians and I'd imagine a fair few other places we're just not taught about.

Sort of comedians that don’t crack you up >>
