Naked racism on RTE

What happened at the beginning of the Ray D'Arcy Show on RTE 1 last evening must have left many viewers stunned.

As the host announced that the English rugby team had been beaten a loud cheer went up from the audience. D'Arcy made some mild comment and smiled.

Was it choreographed beforehand? However it happened, it was crass racism. It was shocking.

A funny little country indeed.

Nonsense. It reflects a long standing rivalry with a former colonial power. To call this racism is crass political correctness gone mad.
