[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm Irish and not offended in the least. Mick is a nickname for some Irish people in my experience. [/quote]

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

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. [/quote]

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.[/quote]

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.[/quote]
