POPSIrish stereotypes I don't entirely agree with this chap, but this piece and another clip got me thinking. It is true that Irish stereotypes seem to be used a lot more than others (perhaps you disagree), and they also seem to be considered less offensive than others. I was born in Ireland and lived there until I was 25 when I moved to England. I have a very strong Irish accent, obviously, and I've had to put up with a lot of stereotyping since I've got here - being a drunk, having a funny accent, coming from a family of 20 children (which I don't), being a terrorist etc. etc. I find it offensive, but moreso I find it just really tedious. And I sometimes feel like I'm a bit of a freak show; that the rest of the world thinks that Irish people are just somehow here for their entertainment. Does this make sense to anyone? Anyway, just thought I would put it out there.
