Cancel Culture - Leprechauns are racist
« on: March 13, 2021, 03:46:05 pm »
Meanwhile, in the Moonbat Zone, it's that time of year again ...

Because I am of Irish descent, I thought I'd have a legitimate grievance that leprechauns are racist and margianalize an entire nationality.  But no longer, as a white male Christian of Western European descent born into White Privilege, my very existence upon this Earth is an offensive structurally-racist micro-agression.  It seems I have a racial Original Sin to attone for.  Once again, the accident of birth has placed a stain up my immortal soul.  How do I appologize for existing?  To whom do I send the reparations check, and for what amount?

ANOTHER day, another innocuous tradition for the offence police to sanitise.

The University of Notre Dame in the US is under pressure to scrap its football team’s leprechaun-themed mascot and ‘Fighting Irish’ nickname amid claims it’s racist.

Professionally outraged ESPN host Max Kellerman took it upon himself on Tuesday to experience offence on behalf of millions of Irish-Americans and call for the traditions to be censored. ...

With the ridiculousness of comparing the ‘Fighting Irish’ logo with the plight of Native Americans obviously lost on Mr Kellerman, he grumbled: “Many Irish-Americans are not offended, but many are.

“And should that also change? The answer is yes, unequivocally yes.

“Pernicious, negative stereotypes of marginalised people that offend even some among them should be changed. It’s not that hard.” ...

Well...
It is always a waste of time to present facts to braindead Liberals, because they do not recognize 'facts' as being relevant to their 'beliefs'.
But, here goes anyway.
Leprechauns are an age-old myth.
Leprechauns do not exist.
There are no actual real Leprechauns who can possibly be 'offended'.

Dr. Seuss is mindless gibberish rhymes for children.
Dr. Seuss has nothing to do with racism or selling drugs.
We don't need some Eng. Lit. major to deconstruct and to read subtext into gibberish meant for children.
Liberals are idiots. Liberals are totally insane.

The millions Irish who enjoy the leprechaun imagery are obviously ignorant and racist, so they don't count.  All it takes is one offended fake-Mick to cry and it's game over.

Most of the indians didn't give a flying french-fry about the "Redskins", either.

Mature and self-confident adults aren't what the Rodents are trolling for.

Since I am 1/8th Danish, can I claim offense at the Minnesota Viking logo? Or howsa bout Bernie Brewer? I am also 3/4 German. Both visage are butt caricatures jus' the same as the Fighting Irish logo. Or Chief Wahoo. Or Aunt Jemima.

Some people need to take a long walk off a short pier an' jus' SHUT UP!

Irish isn't a race. I am of Irish descent and couldn't care less about the UND mascot.
