OK; what that document contains is examples of individual racism, and I'm sure the authors could have cited many, many more. When you referred to anti-Irish racism being an "institionalized aspect of British society", I mistook your meaning to refer to some kind of official policies (which is why I thought I could instruct my MP to put a stop to it.). I now realise that's not what you meant. Incidentally, the document made one point I hadn't considered: that the Irish in Britain can be divided into two groups, those who've been here a long time and those who've arrived since the 1980s, with the latter group being highly qualified. I assume the latter group are less likely to suffer discrimination, but members of lists such as this may be more likely to encounter Irishmen in this group than the other. I'm not sure that the reaction to "travellers" in Britain is any different to the reaction to "travellers" in Ireland ... Tim
