TIBB's RED DEVIL!!!
|
Paddy was born in Manchester, he said so on MBFGW and I heard he had never been to Ireland either. His parents are obviously Irish travellers and he moved around so didn't develop a Manchester accent.

Having grown up around Irish travellers and from coming from traveller stock myself, I can tell you without a shadow of a doubt he is not Irish. Believe it or not there is a small cultural difference between Irish travellers and English travellers, even their accent is different to ours, not by much but it is different.

Apart from being called Paddy and using the word craic, there's nothing Irish about him. His ancestry may indeed be Irish but he himself is British.

Sorry ▲¯\_(ツ)_/¯▲; but where on earth did you ever pick that one up as stereotypical behaviour? Never heard that one in my puff. |

However, if it did happen last night, it might and probably will be shown tonight.

I do agree with the rest of your post though. If such stereotypes were made against any other minority groups there would be absolute hell on.

I have yet to see an episode where they are just normal. This was more my point than them not showing a bad side...they want them to appear as hyperactive robots 24/7...when I very much doubt that this is the case

I've never heard that comparison before: and more than that: if it's the Cat Stevens I think you mean: he converted to a faith that is more well known within the Arab world, which is something totally different from cultures /race that the word 'Blacks' may refer to (ie: those of African descent). Now i'm even more confused by the use of phrase!! |

Jerk Chicken is a West Indian dish and I suspect the association comes from that.

got to say that from what I've seen on the Jedward act: it's been the manic, shouting, screaming, running about daft, being obnoxious, being a nuisance and generally as if they've been fed on nothing but speed for the past 2 weeks.

I don't know if the twins would have went in as just John and Edward but since Jedward is their brand from a business point of view and managed that is what C5 had booked them for because of their ability to divide opinion and annoy.

The West Indian dish stereotype isin't where the association comes from at all. It's more of an American stereotype rooted in deep south racism that's become in recent times a kind of meme/bait/cultural joke poked fun at.
