What’s Matt going to do when some perpetually aggrieved someone decides that the “pub crawl” itself stereotypes Irish Americans, no matter what it’s called?

["A spokeswoman for the Tropicana Casino and Resort, which has been promoting the event, said the casino had received about a half-dozen complaints about the name."]

Tell the six complainers to have a nice day and keep the name. When are we going to stand up to this endles bullying by the "tolerant" Left?

You mean this guy doesn't denigrate Irish-Americans?

As a person of Irish descent, I have no problem with the “Running of the Micks” title, whether intended as a stereotype or not. If it was something like “Running of the lazy, drunken, wife-beaters”, ok, I would have a few issues.

While I have no complaints, personally, I am at least glad to see some balance out there... if the left is going to flip out every time something comes up that seems unflattering toward African Americans, Muslims, gays, or any other group that is constantly “victimized”, then at least the Irish get to complain too... we know how much the left hates Christians, especially Catholics, and probably uses the terms “Irish” and “Catholic” interchangably, so the outcry about this will hopefully be a thorn in their side. Two can play at this game, pinkos.

Being Irish Catholic I find nothing degrading in the name at all.

(I have lived down far worse by degrading myself.)

"Running of the Leprechauns.''

How long will it be before the Leprechaun Anti-Defamation League files a complaint?

BTW - I used to work for a construction company that subcontracted a painting company called “Squarehead” Painting. The owner, like my father was born in Norway and I didn’t find it offensive. Norwegians often refer to each other as “Squareheads”. Not sure of the etymology but I think it’s often applied to people of Germanic or Scandinavian ancestry.

While attending college in Dublin my daughter led pub crawls a few times a week. If the Irish call them pub crawls then that’s what they are.

For decades in MN a hot meatball sandwich was called a
“Dago”. No on found this offensive. Then a lawyer from New Your saw it on the menu somewhere and went ballistic. Now you can only by hot meatball sandwiches.

Half a dozen= 6. Six complaints and the promoters roll over. Jesus Mary and Joseph!
