Oh god, you're comparing discrimination against travellers to discrimination to people from Leitrim? My fucking sides are in orbit right now. How can you genuinely have that little self-awareness? You're actually just making up scenarios where you're the discriminated against one to justify yourself. An absolute joke. I'm saving this comment so I can laugh at it again later.

call that a strawman argument if you want but I won't accept your "you just want to hate on someone" point, stats be it crime or education speak volumes, by and large travelers seem more like to self exclude themselves from education and society and from personal experience of talking with many it seems to be based on family pressures, more clan mentality (perhaps a side effect of stigmas), dismantlement with the state and society, and a attitude of looking out for your own. Travellers themselves have talked frankly with me about this and i was sorry to say I didn't have easy answers.

And what if someone goes to school, works and behaves themselves? It's not like people like you are going to suddenly stop hating and stereotyping them. You wouldn't know I was related to Travellers unless I told you or you met my family but based on your comments I'd say it's fair to assume you'd immediately threat me differently once you found out, which has happened many times.

Yes there are problem in the Traveller community but people like yourself make it worse and encourage the various problems. Do everything like a normie and you'll get nothing but abuse for it. People aren't going to strive to join a community that hates them in the first place. Why would they? If someone is a Traveller and don't engage in any criminal shit people like you think it's okay to bash them because other ones do.

And again lol @ your Leitrim comment, that was so insanely ridiculous.
