This article from the New York Times is about the rise in racism in Ireland; that is, Ireland-born Irish folks having issues with Irish men and women born out of the country, or non-Irish born in Ireland. One woman was attacked on the street by a gang of Irish men.
This article really stood out to me, because I am VERY proud of my Irish heritage, even though I was not born there, or have even been there, Irish blood runs through my veins and I am proud of it! Everyday I wear my Claddagh ring, and display my wild red proudly. I never would have thought that if I were to visit Ireland, like I have always wanted to, they might not take too kindly to my presence in their land.
