English view on Ireland
Hi
I just wanted to ask you, since you are from England, about what English people feel about Irish people and are they racist against them?
My grandparents were from Ireland and were supressed under the English, and they did not like them. Is the hatred still there. I am 100% Irish and would like to see England, but am worried that English people won't like me.
Thanks.

On the whole, English people are very friendly toward the Irish: while some racism is inevitable, the sort of person who would discriminate against you on a racial basis is not the sort you would want to mix with anyway. England has a (partially justified) rep. for thuggery -we are supposedly the most belligerent football fans in the world, and race riots (especially in the North Midlands) are sadly not uncommon. From your point of view, this is not a problem, since those rioters care more about skin colour than anything else, and object to immigrants,not tourists.Don't worry. Welcome to England!
