as i said its changing but ireland can be extremely backward in many ways especially outside the cities.. or moreso outside dublin.....
yknow.. its not that long ago when i was in school.... about 15 years ago or so if you saw a coloured/african... for want of a better word... black person in the town of wexford.... people would point and stare and go "look at him" and make snide comments etc.. we just didnt have anything like that. i remember it clearly an african family moved in next door to my granny in wexford town... SCANDAL!!!!!!!! now, every second house has a african family in it and the vast majority of them are the nicest folk you will ever meet... the wankers are the fucking locals!!!!!
i really hope that didnt come accross as bad, just trying to get my point accross...
