So then as I'm 1/4 Irish it's perfectly fine for me to say that all Irish men are violent drunks who's national pastime is making a shambles o' the place.

Or perhaps my 1/2 Italian side would be justyfied in saying all Wops are greasy, mafia hoods. Hey, while we're slandering whole groups how bout some good old jewish jokes?

Boy, it's a good thing racism isn't tolerated here at FR.

I'm sure not all, nor even most Traveler's, Gypsies, or Irish in General, are crooks or drunks. But some are, just as some Germans and English are. Does that mean that I should not admit that the Germans like a brew now and again, sometimes to excess? That the English too often quaft a few too many? Or that the German Nazi's were not a pox on the Human race? All that because of my Germana and English ancestory? I think not. Neither should the Travelers be asking for special treatment for those among them who beat their kids, or steal other peoples money or goods.

There might be a point in there about the kid being put with relatives rather than strangers, that's the way it's usually done, if cooperative and fit relatives are available, so not to do so in this case is somewhat, well racist isnt' the word, culturist perhaps?
