We're Not Racist

At a nearby movie house.





Are the Irish considered a "race"? What criteria go into determining a race of people? Physical considerations, usually, but how about purely cultural or geographic ones. Are Northern Irish people a different "race" than Republic of Ireland folks?
Can ginger people be considered a race? How about people with Down's Syndrome? Things that make ya go blërg.

There are guys who are in my engineering class who will make a big distinction between them and Republic of Ireland Irish, personally I don't give a flying adjustable spanner about the Northern Irish/Other Irish distinctions. I feel we're all mixed in this big pool of genes and although there are big differences between some people, we're all pretty much the same. Except for the Hungarians, they have big cocks.

"Kill the Irishman" sounds like a good thing to see. Perhaps you should see it and see how they kill the Irishman.

The difference between the NIs and The RIs is that NIs have an average of 156 eyelashes per eye, while the RIs have an average of 158. Clearly a difference not only in race, but in species.

Gingers actually need twice as much anesthetic as the non-gingered variety of people. Have no clue about the size of their genitalia though. Must gather data.
