Page down a couple and you'll see we are now funding Irish travellers to the tune of �93k. Low life thieving scum deserve no help from us. I've stopped donating to Comic relief now. Who's joining me?

It isn't racism. To suggest such is to misunderstand what racism is.

OK, enlighten me please

[R1Geezer]

Irish is not a race, caucasian is a race. Anyway, I did say Irish because that was what was on the website, I wasn't clear at he time but what I meant is any of the "travellers" regardless of any particular origin. Now Hilly care to address the actual question now.

their children still deserve some support; they have done nothing to warrant their position at the bottom of society and abuse on websites such as this.

The term 'race' is sometimes now used interchangeably for 'ethnicity' but that is largely irrelevant in modern usage.

OK English *********** . whatever you say I can't be arsed to argue anymore

Because it is difficult to argue when one is wrong.

I don't know what the asterisked word is - but as an Englishman, and despite it obviously being derogatory, I do not feel I have been the subject of racist abuse and nor do I feel insulted.
