it's more religious based than colour based though Quote: |
About 98 percent of schools are run by the Roman Catholic Church, and the law permits them to discriminate on the basis of whether a prospective student has a certificate confirming they were baptized into the faith. Some of the African applicants were Muslim, members of evangelical Protestant denominations or of no religious creed.
| Quite a big feature on this story on RTÉ Radio 1 this morning - the subject of racism wasn't mentioned once - the religious discrimination though was the main theme

I'm ashamed to say Ireland is about 60/40 racists to non racists, thats not a fact , Its just in my own experience.
Like the manager where I work , a chinese guy who used to work with us and left on good terms, asked for his job back last week, now we need staff very badly and the younger staff are cutting down there hours and heading back to school.
This manager who had never worked with the guy automnatically said No. "The Chinese guy, No way"

Agree with WCR. However I find it rather ridiculous that there's not enough non-denominational schools to go around to pick up the slack.

The Irish are the blacks of Europe
The Dubliners are the blacks of Ireland
The Northsiders are the blacks of Dublin
Say it loud, we're black and we're proud...

What WCR said, governments fault for not having enough non-denominational schools, not racism in this case.
If you were black and Catholic, you would have no problem.
