Quoting eh1eh
Or just not funny, but either way the thread title is misleading and perhaps borderline offensive if I say so myself.... unless it can be confirmed that he is indeed an Irish immigrant and perhaps that area of the world has an influx of problems related to "Irish Immigrants" such as the above case, then I might see some grounds for the stereo-type..... if not.....
Sometimes humour can be complex Praxis.

Sorry Prax. didn't realize you were Irish.
toppa the mornin to ya, eh.
you got it. someone just peed on yer lucky charms is all.
I used to work with a fella named Macari.............right from county Donegal he was. So, naturally, when I saw Dabiri, I just KNEW there was some shamrocks in there someplace.
How, Prax, do you know I'm wrong?. Suppose I had said, English immigrants, would you still get your nuts in a knot?
You really want English immigrants coming over and stealing your welfare cheque?
Jeebus, no fun here.

I was under the impression that it was dry humor, paralleling the way that the irish used to get blamed for everything, with the troubles that are now broadcast about new immigrant groups.

Seriously though, sorry Samad, you were probably offended, and rightly so, by something the other person said, or the way they looked, and since this is Canada, you saw fit to exercise your right as a citizen.
Who are we to criticize someone for stabbing another?. What the hell is this country coming to?
All those who object to there being a law against stabbing.............STAND UP AND BE HEARD!!!

I'm not an immigrant to Canada, but I do come from Irish decent, and I'm all aware of the stereo-types and racial things that come with it, much like many other races.... I just figured since I see once in a while a race or religion get all uppity on similar things, I'd just fill my boots and do the same....
Carry on
But regardless, I just want to point out that we Irish don't stab people at random, we just blow them up at random.... just figured I'd clarify the stereo-type a little.... and that's what I found offensive.

I just clicked on the thread expecting a topic that related to the title and requested some clarification on the matter.
