Isn't The Mick kind of innapropriate?

[Anonymous]

I am Irish American and have been called a Mick many time. It doesn't bother me. Say it loud 'I'm mick and I'm proud!'. Hehehe.

It's been a nick name of affection. I like it.

You sound like an idiot who has no understanding of Irish American history.

I'm op and I'm pretty Irish and I'm offended, obviously. So you don't speak for all of us.

Right. You started this thread so obviously you're in a tizzy. I didn't say I speak for all Irish people. I imagine if you were actually oppressed the name of a silly tv show wouldn't have such a great impact on your life.

The OP doesn't want any differing opinions, just wants everyone to agree that it's an outrage.

OP, I'm being sincere- take this complaint to the Breitbart comments section. They have boycotted many companies/shows that they perceive as anti-white. Tell them about this anti-Irish injustice and they will perhaps get a boycott going and get publicity behind it. Many people will agree with you. You'll have better luck there than trying to force everyone on DCUM to slavishly agree with you.

I feel like I've been hesitant to bring this up in real life because of being lumped in with those people.

Obviously there isn't Irish injustice happening in America today but there isn't blackface minstrelry happening in America today but we're all (rightfully) horrified when someone does it because it harken's back to a really terrible thing. There was a time in American history when the Irish were horrifically mistreated (not slavery but still bad]. And this word was the n word of Irish prejudice.

I'm not saying we need some giant campaign to get the show cancelled and I wouldn't even want a bunch of news stories about white people spun up about this taking away from other things but I am genuinely shocked that a lot of people here don't even recognize why this is bad.

I love the housekeeper... when she started singing in the episode with the kareoke scene, OMG.

It's not that people don't "recognize that it's bad-" they just don't agree with you that an edgy show with a slightly edgy name is bad. Like the Asian PP who brought up the music with an edgy name.

Not everyone is offended by every thing. You are. That's okay.

A lot of people are okay with the casual use of "b-tch" in movies, television, and other media (including titles). I'm not. It's derogatory. It's often one of the last words women hear before being murdered.

Not everyone agrees with me that the word shouldn't be used. I accept that.

I've never heard "mick" used as a slur about the Irish. DCUM, teaching me things all the time! Maybe the writers are just sheltered like me and didn't realize Mick was a racial thing.
