> so that you don't make this embarrassing error again.

I really don't think that condescending tone was needed, regardless of parent's knowledge of the subject matter at hand, we're above that here.



When the OP's assertion was that Irish identity is:

1) nothing more than being opposition 2) inherently racist (focussed on being anti another ethnicity)

then I will take your rebuke and downvote as evidence of either a lack of thought or a deliberate attempt to insult.

Stick to Scotland friend. You may actually know something about it.


> inherently racist

You're just throwing around that accusation to justify bad behavior. It's easy to attach any label when you have such loose definitions ("anti" "ethnicity").

> nothing more than being opposition

You added "nothing more", which plays the same role as the "just" in "just a theory" - turning a statement in context into a straw-man.

> then I will take your rebuke and downvote as evidence of either a lack of thought or a deliberate attempt to insult

Isn't that convenient. I take the lack of content in your post as evidence of the same.

Sticking with the condescension, eh?

If you know something about this topic, why not show us?
