I obviously am not making myself clear.  If you look long enough and hard enough and have an agenda, you will always find an axe to grind.  Some of my family left Ireland during the 1840's diaspora.  Some even came here to Hawaii.  I am not looking to the British government for pay backs even though our land was appropriated by them.  I am not even looking for an apology.  It is 2016.  The potato famine is in the remote past.  And I don't find stereotypes of drunk Irishmen offensive.  As for you not being able to handle bad stereotypes, I can't help you there.  However, we all carry some amount of baggage from all sorts  of corners be it ethnicity, religion or career.  Why does it become so important?  You are not going to change the minds of those who already accept what you are objecting to.  So why get so upset?
