Why feel the need to say "Irish" slag, just when I was starting to get along with people from England

Now hang on - I'm Irish too and using 'Irish' as a descriptive for an Irish person doesn't bother me one bit - in fact it seem fair enough really.

Had he said Paddy slag - or something like that then yeah, I'd have been pissed, but calling an Irish person Irish isn't an insult - it's an observation. Unless, that is, you think there is something wrong with being Irish?

So - to quote (sorta) the big man himself....

You need to step right back from that right now. That's absolute bo11ocks. [...] Don't even start all of that bo11ocks because when you start all of that then it becomes something. [...] You're being racist, because you're the one saying just because [she's Irish] then people could get offended by it.
