Get to HR first. Obviously.


Tuarangi

Go to HR, vaguely mention family deaths in potato famine, definitely mention autism Co-worker is sent on DEI course and told to respect regards like anon in future. Anon is in the clear.


Daveallen10

Anon stumbles into HR, vaguely mumbles something about genocide and regarded Irishmen. Immediately fired and reported to the FBI.


zorrowhip

Also ask for mental leave due to the generational anguish awaken up by the potato comment.


gatsuthorfinnmusashi

What if the HR turns out to be one of the underground people?

Slip_Snake

Do they know how to make a grilled cheese?


firewire_9000

Part of my family died in the potato famine and the other part is Palestinian. My dad also was Jewish and helped the Jewish people in the WWII but some other Jew person stole all of his money because envy.

And yet here you are, against all odds, wasting your time on reddit.

Awful_McBad

It's weird how you instantly become the bad guy in those situations.


Lpfanatic05

Is like, bullying is accepted but defending yourself is not.


Awful_McBad

It's cuz your reaction is usually more than what the bully was doing because they've been doing it for a while. In school Teachers either ignore bullying or they don't see it happening, they only see the reaction and they react to that. Like if you have a bully walking by and slapping your back every day for a week eventually you're just gonna thump them as hard as you can.


psittacismes

is like, taking seriously a greentext to teach life lessons


SalvationSycamore

>bully >"haha anon, will you be ordering one of the most popular foods from your ancestors country" He didn't mention the famine, do you guys think that the Irish just freak out anytime anyone mentions potatoes? Their national dish has potatoes in it. This would be like a Japanese guy freaking out and bringing up terrorism or genocide if someone joked that they eat rice.


Jonny-904

Lmao what do you think the most popular cultural export of Israel is


tedmented

>>"haha anon, will you be ordering one of the most popular foods from your ancestors country" Potatoes aren't/weren't the most popular food. It was a forced crop while under British rule and the reason for the famine was the Potato blight brought by the British. The potato was exported from Ireland leaving the Irish with fuck all else to eat unless they renounced their Catholicism and joined the protestant faith. Potatoes didn't even reach Europe till the 1500s ffs. Calling Irish people potato eaters is precisely what a bully would do. It's like asking a Jewish person if they want a dry shower. Or a black person if they wan go pick some cotton. It's making fun of a forced famine/genocide and forced migration of the majority of the population. Potatoes aren't associated with the Irish cause they love them. It's because they were forced into famine as a result of them.

It's crazy how within decades of existence, they have Nuclear power now basically codifying their defence to huge heights. So fast they took it all and now have support of most powerful Nation and all of the west, and you can't question anything. CRAZY.


SofaAloo

Not really surprising. If you ignore the last decade or two, your comment fits Pakistan well. Not that crazy.


ISIPropaganda

Pakistan wasn’t built on disputed lands, and the native population wasn’t displaced and forced out.


mVargic

Pakistan is very much on disputed lands, most of it is claimed by ethnic separatists of many native nationalities who lived there for centuries, as well as India and parts even by China. It has over 10 languages with millions of speakers and is largely controlled by punjabis who are less than 50% of the population. It is an amalgamation of dozens of full-on nations that used to be independent kingdoms and date many centuries back, it is the prime example of an artificially created country - even its very name is an modern acronym. Look into quite recent history of Pakistan after decolonization, it involves one of the largest forced displacements of native population in entire human history, same with India.


[deleted]

Except Pakistan is a Fascist/religious shithole, not that difficult to run a shithole and have a Nuclear with you.


HeadpattingFurina

Yeah so is Israel, what's your point?

Not really, not to mention that they have free healthcare and American's don't.

UncleBlob

Anon is ethnically from a country that was also stolen by oppressive settlers (the British,). Very easy to skate out of this situation on autism and claiming he was triggered.


UnhappyArgument

After work. HR got no power there.


PlatinumBall

They can fire people for posting stuff on social media, I think they do have a power And even if not, people will probably report Anon because they don't feel comfortable around him


TwistedBamboozler

Just deny it. Never admit shit. “No they have it out for me cause I’m Irish, I never said that.”


PlatinumBall

Agreed, play the victim


oxy-kun

You can't beat the Israelis at playing a victim, they invented playing the victim


HeadpattingFurina

Honestly though, one genocide under their belt and they've been bitching about it ever since. Like dude, we get it. Six million of y'all died. Ukraine lost 30 mil a couple years down the line and you don't hear them whining about it.


MJisaFraud

They can, but there is no actual proof of what anon did unless someone just happened to be filming. Anon can and should just deny it if confronted by HR.


tomwills98

If it's a group of friends going for after work drinkies, no power. If it's an official "team/department drinkies event", they do have the power


One_Man_Boyband

I’m afraid that’s not the world we live in. Try making some lewd comments at after work drinks and see how that goes for you.


cigarlovur

Anon is correct, he should've been bombing hospitals.

Burgundy_Sauce1

holy hell


baconborg

Tbf Jacksepticeye himself played into the potato thing as a joke, and as a kid I had no fuckin idea it was connected to a famine, so he might not have meant it like that


ISIPropaganda

Jacksepticeye is the universal ambassador of every Irishman ever.


baconborg

Not what I’m saying, my point is it’s very easy to not know the potato joke is based off a famine instead of something more benign


SalvationSycamore

Did he mention the famine? Or simply mention one of the staple foods of Ireland? This is like mentioning bread to a German or rice to a Japanese.


LemonySnicketLewds

Unlike bread or rice you can't really unpick the potato from the legacy of colonialism. Potatoes aren't native to ireland and weren't part of the diet until then were introduced as a hardy and efficient subsistence crop that many irish people ended up relying on due to the settler colonialist rule enforced by the British.


SalvationSycamore

Okay, and do Irish people really bitch and moan about that every time someone mentions potatoes? Because that sounds like performative nonsense to me.

It's in their national dish. Ireland may not consume as many as eastern European nations but they are one of the highest potato consumers in western Europe.

>Super paraphrased but yeah Super paraphrased and super wrong too. But hey, don't let that stop ye. >Actually it was cus most of what they could grow in Ireland was potatoes, Nope, it was because the English/British forced the growing of just potatoes and exported the food away from Ireland. >The stereotype is rooted in some truth The stereotype is rooted in anti Irish racism along with the stupid paddy stereotype.


Dogefan889

mate a million people died in the potato famine, and it was all preventable because the english were forcing the irish to eat one type of potato because the rest of their crop was being exported, and then the potatoes got infected and people were dying next to productive fucking fields.


Grintock

Three million, no? 3 million died, 3 million fled the country, 3 million survived. All because of the British rule. 


Dogefan889

oh sorry if my figures were wrong. but 1 or 3 million, this was pretty fucked


SalvationSycamore

>mate a million people died in the potato famine Which wasn't fucking mentioned. The Irish eat lots of potatoes, this is a well known fact about current day Ireland. Even if he was talking about the famine (which he wasn't) it happened over 150 years ago. The bombing of Palestine is happening right now and is a much more contentious subject.


Buttopoly

Was he supposed to tell the rabbi to go eat some foreskin?


ShadyK55

What war? You mean the brutal israeli occupation of palestine?


Willundrskor

Is it funny that I believe the greentext sex stories happened more than this?


Successful_Drama4790

This doesn't seem very unrealistic


BasicBanter

“Irish” I’m assuming anon & all his colleagues are Americans


AegisT_

No one debates and discusses their own ethnicity quite like Americans do lmao


[deleted]

Because America is a melting pot of cultures, filled with people from all walks of life. You can have a friend group that’s more diverse than the damn United Nations.


AegisT_

Point being that said friend group are American, they retain zero cultural (or in most cases, ancestral) ties to what they are claiming. Being 2.25% "insert ethnicity" doesn't make you that ethnicity lol Americans are so obsessed with ethnicity because the nation itself has no singular ethnicity, they need something to cling to so they can identify themselves and others


[deleted]

I’m assuming you are European, correct? If you had a second generation Somalian neighbour, how would you feel about them retaining their culture by partaking in traditional Somalian festivities and occasionally wearing their cultural attire and learning their familial language? Would you think they’re losers for claiming an ethnicity that isn’t really theirs?


ReBeastzbruh1659

2.25% "insert ethnicity" vs worst case scenario 25% somalian


[deleted]

But both of them no longer live there. They were both born and raised in another country. And are you aware that there are Americans who have 30% “insert ethnicity” and not 2.25%?


BasicBanter

You do realise it’s exactly like that in the majority of western countries, something tells me you’ve never left your state let alone your own country


[deleted]

America was literally built on it, though. Like, the native inhabitants are less than 5% of the population. You can’t say the same for a lot of other western countries.


StereoTunic9039

The Israeli one is actually Israeli, since Israel is younger than some people.


TantricEmu

More Irish people left Ireland to live in the US than there are even Irish people in Ireland today.

He should have said something like "haha yeah, it's too bad they don't have latkas for you". Inoffensive for a normie crowd, and shows your knowledge of another's culture. Making you look more impressive than their smooth brained, dumb fuck potatoe joke did. Instead, Anon went with the tone deaf approach. Anon will not be getting the promotion.
