“Racism” towards the Irish on here

[Giantbanger]

Can we please talk about it and can you please get your mods some training.

There was a thread that stood from yesterday. The op was goady and people were reporting the fuck out of it from yesterday.

It went this morning because the op was previously banned for being goady. No surprises there then.

But it contained a post from a member of MNHQ that really bothered me and I would like to discuss.

Hello!
Thanks for all the reports on this one. We'd like to leave this up as it's a pretty interesting discussion - one for the colonial/post colonial literature experts perhaps (yes - we know there's an argument over whether Irish literature counts as such!) - so please keep to the spirit of the site when discussing this and make your points politely. Thanks

So if there’s a “racist” thread about the Irish, it is an interesting discussion and the Irish need to be polite when telling racists they are racists.

(And Yes. I know in the dictionary definition Irish isn’t a race. It’s a subset ethnicity of Caucasian but the term is used more broadly in general use than the dictionary definition.)

I intend to be must more proactive in reporting any racist goady threads and posts. I would in the past have eye rolled and slid past, but now I am going to report anything and everything I see.

Same giant.

witches if you haven’t already reported them make sure and do so.

Thanks Michael.

Hopefully this is a new start and things will improve.

Thank you MNHQ.

Have some probably much needed

Thank you Michael.

Good to see @MichaelMumsnet

Thanks to @Giantbanger and @IStandWithPosie with bringing this to our attention and getting this result
