That is bullshit and you know it. You're just arguing for argument's sake. Irish is a nationality, not a race. The race is caucasian.

If you are prejudiced against (not towards) the Irish community/ British you are a xenophobe.
If you are prejudiced against black people, then you are racist.

Sorry pal <ok>

towards/against. doesn't really matter.

the facts are that the Irish are genetically different. That doesn't even matter if we are or are not (we are) because the roots of anti irish racism is based on the premise that the briton is ethnically and genetically superior.
 
God just put that story in there to test our faith, just like the dinosaur bones <ok>
 
How do the Irish have different genes to the 'Brits'?

I thought they were 'Celts' and 'Picts' like us Scots?

nope. There are obviously large parts of the genetic make-up that are similar, but there is a distinct irish genome.

13% of a difference <laugh>

So, the people of Irish descent in Britain, are they Irish?

And the people of British descent in RoI, are they British?

And if you tell a genetically British person of who lives in Ireland 'to go home' is this racist?
 
my cousin was born in britain to irish parents and he now lives in ireland but you can tell the difference, the weasel got out of learning irish by claiming he was english hmmmmm
