As a mixed race Irish person born and raised here, I can agree with you to a point. And I can also tell you how insanely humiliating it is to be the butt of jokes similar to that your whole life, and how awkward it is having to brush the same shite off "JuSt BeCaUsE iT's BaNtEr". As if that's an excuse to single anyone out for your own entertainment.

Yes, people mean no harm most of the time, yet sometimes it goes too far and you're so conditioned to not say anything for fear of "not being able to take a joke". It's a horrible position to be in and I don't think you or anyone else with your mindset has any right to dictate what's racist or not. You and people like you, are part of the problem. That tweet was vile, humiliating, and blatantly racist. And I only hope you never have to face years of 'bAnTeR' over something you can't control. Get a grip and stop defending abhorrent attitudes and behaviour.
