Ye but travelers don't make good music or nice food so they're fair game..
Hah. (Except for everything from Django Reinhardt to gypsy punk...) Racist is correct. No place here.

They're gypsys not travelers though?
Broad term admittedly. Cultural ( and sometimes racist) lines are drawn by members of the diaspora.
Think there have been a few debates on here about the term. I went to school with a fair few and have a very close connection to someone that was effectively Kidnapped by them for about 10 years.
Not quite sure how the Irish travelers are a race? That said I agree it's ironic that we bang on about being called yids and then call them pikeys.
Football fans are all the same. All hypocrites.
Irish travellers are considered (legally) to be an ethnic minority.
In what way are they different to Irish people?

That’s the thing with the Irish stock. I can’t see no real difference, ethnically, from ‘standard’ Irish people.
Romany gypsies are different.
In recent years there’s been a bit more mingling between the two groups, although still not one and the same. A few generations ago they were strictly two different groups who didn’t spend time together.
I have distant Romany relations. Most good, few bad. From personal experiences I’d say no different from any other ethnic group. The Irish travellers I’ve encountered tend to have more bad amongst them than any other group I’ve known but then again, I might have just interacted with a lot of bad eggs.
He was a villa fan.
I haven't met anybody who has a positive word to say about Irish travellers. They are seen as one big mafia type group rather than a race by most of the people I've spoken too.
The travelling community here are not liked by a lot of folk, many of whom are afraid to admit it.
The reason is that they are pretty much untouchable by the law, turn up to sign on at the dole offices in €70k four wheel drive motors and for the most part don't pay any taxes.
A 'traveller' parent turned up at my lads school last week with a crowbar threatening everybody and anybody. The guards were not called for fear of escalating the problem. His kids are lawless and always beating up the other kids when they think they can get away with it. The school played down the incident afterwards saying it was a misunderstanding.
Anything that isn't bolted down dissappears. And their toilet behaviour certainly leaves a lot to be desired....
