so i learned a new slur on twitter. [View all]

lol. enjoying the convos w the cousins across the pond. only a couple centered on whether i, personally, and ia’s in general, are actually irish.

1 was w a guy who called me a ‘plastic paddy’. and he hated us, cuz we funded the ira. then went on to display his own ignorance of the troubles.
also said that we came to america and stole the land from the natives.

dude is a uk wingnut, of course. went back and forth for a while, then he gave up.

but plastic paddy. i mean, i know who he means. but it aint me.
