To requote the irish golfer turned broadcaster, David Fehrety.

The Irish don't care what you call them......Fighting Irish? Fine.....drunken Irish?...fine.

I prefer that attitude and what about all those great ethnic jokes?

I am getting so sick and tired of this constant whinning and crying about names, trademarks, images and all that some one or thing decides is offensive.
So called politically correctness isn't correct about anything.[/QUOT

I'm with you. Get over it; pull up your drawers, grab your shovel and go to work. My ancestor came from Donegal...We quit raising potatoes a long time ago; still lift the jug occasionally though.

Cherokee is a nationality. You don't see any Jeep Russian, Jeep Mexican, Jeep French, Jeep Puerto Rican, Jeep Japanese. It's outlived it's time. Time to change it.

All right . . . now let's get started, I object to the soap named "Irish Spring" the one half of me that is Irish is offended by this . . . the Viking half could give a ****.

The Viking in me also doesn't give a rats azz about scenty soaps. We roll in roadkill after a soapless bath just to get back the natural scent.

My friend in the trades is known as Irishman Tom... he has a Irish accent and most of his crew born in Ireland.

Tom got into a pickle calling someone Chinaman Bill...

Tom said has the world gone daft?

I’m Irishman Tom and he is Chinaman Bill... with So many Toms and Bills it would be confusing not to say so.

I hope my friends north are not offended by Canadian Mist

My father in law was Cherokee. His favorite team was the Washington Redskins.
My opinion is anything like that brings remembrance to people. How can it be racist? All sorts of things happened in history. Should they be forgotten? Does removing a statue, logo or name make it disappear or it never happened?
It's insane. People should focus on important issues.

They have a Constitutional right to be offended and sometimes I like to help them practice that right.
