This is one of those things where everyone says "oh we know it's wrong but what are you gonna do about it".
I was watching the weather report on tv the other day, and they were forecasting the weather for march 17, st.patrick's day. well, tv tries to be cute so they often will add a visual icon beside a day of note like this one. in this case, they added a dancing leprechaun, complete with red nose and buffoon-like shit-eating grin.
Let me just say this. If that day was, say, the start of February, which is black history month, what dancing animated icon would they put in then? How about chinese new year? or hanukkah?
why is it that it's ok to lampoon irish culture with a silly stereotype but not others?
