I mind trying to convince a guy I went to uni with that Jimi Hendrix was born in Dublin. He was never 100% fooled though.
Always trying to be the centre of attention, fooled the gullible into thinking he could play an instrument and sing when he patently could not, high on everything from windolene to smack and had a very silly haircut - i can see why people would be fooled to be fair.
I don't have any pretendy plastic blood, and am also able to let go of things that happened yesterday never mind two centuries ago, so naw.
If it were in response to someone wishing to reclassify racist abuse as xenophobic then I may have said that. I do not recall it in those terms. To deny that racist abuse can be directed towards the Irish has been debunked so many times now, it is hardly worth another airing.
