- Video Title: Does Racism Exist in Ireland?/Life in Ireland
In this video, I'll share my experiences as a Filipino nurse living and working in Ireland and whether or not racism exists in this country. From everyday encounters to navigating the healthcare system, I'll discuss the reality of being a person of color in Ireland. Whether you're a fellow nurse or planning to move to Ireland, this video will give you insight into what life is like here. Watch now to learn more about racism and diversity in Ireland.
Thank you for making this video. It's a difficult topic to discuss, but very important.
As an Irish person currently living abroad long-term, it's been worrying to see the recent increase in far-right noise in my country of birth, much of which is online. I want to believe in my heart that the modern Irish nation is a welcoming and inclusive one, and these racists and troublemakers are a tiny tiny minority. They never get elected to office, for example, which makes me think their voice is amplified online. It's true also that a lot of anti-EU and anti-immigrant voices are actually not Irish themselves. But many are.
I want to return to my homeland soon and I'm willing to fight any racism I encounter when I do. We are stronger together ❤
As always, beautiful photography, editing, and music Nurse Ventura 👏 I always look forward to your vlogs. Please keep up the amazing work you are doing, as a nurse and a UA-camr too!
Hey!!!❤️ yes, I was a bit hesitant to make a video about racism but, I just want to share my own experience living in Ireland as a foreign nurse and my view about racism in general. It’s everywhere, it actually lies in people not in countries. ( that’s my belief)
Thank you for your kind words. Really appreciate it ❤️🇮🇪🇵🇭
Stay away your traitor. Do u have any idea of the level of migration to this country. Hardly any country in Europe has had the levels of migration that we are getting. Our useless politicians refuse to learn from the mistakes of the likes of Sweden , France , uk etc. you would do well to remember that the US brought in restrictions on migration in the 1920s when the foreign born population reached 15%. It's 20% here, yet our politicians want more and more..
It is very easy to just call a person racist and not listen to their concerns/worries.
It must be so satisfying to be up there looking down on people who you don't agree with, but you don't live in Ireland anymore, and you listen to them.
You start with the assumption that they are just racist. So, instead of analysing what they are saying, you just look for evidence that you are correct. Then you can pat yourself on the back and feel so superior.
Ireland has had almost 140k immigrants in the past year.
We are a small country. 22% of people in Ireland were not born here. We have a housing crisis.
Illegal immigration is not being stopped. Violent crimes and sexual assaults are on the rise, linked directly to illegal immigrants. They get little to no jail time as our prisons are full. The plans for a new prison were scrapped to house more illegal immigrants.
Ireland has its own identity and culture that is being destroyed. We are the indigenous people. If it was a brown or black country, and white people were entering illegally, then committing crimes while living on social welfare, you would be up in arms. Crying about white colonisers destroying another country. You are a hypocrite. You should be ashamed to call yourself Irish.
Just to clarify, I have no problem with immigrants. But it should be controlled. It should be based on areas we need workers in. I am sure you needed a visa to leave Ireland (if you left the EU).
Illegal immigrants should be jailed, then returned to point of origin.
I have no issue with genuine asylum seekers, unfortunately, we don't get many.
In the Middle East filippino nurses are paid lower wages than Europeans, in Ireland Filipino nurses get paid exactly the same as everyone else and have fully equality in law from day one. just ignore the small number of loud racists. Thank you for your careful considerations tackling a complex issue.
Very much true. And yes there are a few here who will treat us differently and unfairly but then again as you said, just ignore the small number loud racists. ❤️🙏💯
As a Dublin born Irishman who has a keen interest on current social affairs and news here, it was very interesting to hear your take take on that subject. I find the lived experience always paints a different picture to what the NGO's and Media would have one believe. Fear and hate pay the wages for those people sadly. We Irish are very welcoming, especially to good souls like yourself who come here and contribute. I recently spent 16 days in Hospital and meet some seriously wonderful Filipinos whilst there.
Thank you for your kind words regarding my fellow filipino nursing colleagues❤️🇵🇭🇮🇪. Personally I love living in Ireland, love the people.if only it’s a bit hotter in here 😅 it would be perfect☘️🤣 hope you’re doing well now after your hospitalization
It's only unvetted migrants we worry about you are very welcome
I find Ireland to be incredibly welcoming, they have a big migration culture themselves, with lots of them having family abroad or have worked overseas themselves. In that sense, we have a relatability in being overseas workers. In my experience, I have not encountered any outward racism or discrimination, as it is very much frowned upon, and they have a low tolerance for it, especially in the workplace. But of course there are some bad eggs here and there, but I think those stem more from ignorance and unconscious bias than racism...
Very nice insight regarding the matter. Hehehe ❤️❤️❤️❤️ thanks for sharing your own thoughts. Love it 🙂🙂🙂 hehe. i know you like Ireland 🇮🇪
@@BoyetVentura thanks Boyet! Yes I do like it here 🙂
Theres a difference between being a female and male with dark skin.
Hi Nurse Ventura ang ganda talaga ng editing skills mo, maganda ang color gradient na gamit mo and thank you for giving an insight about Ireland, Ireland is so beautiful💗 ayan pinusuan ko na hahaha🌼
Hello! Feeling ko isa ka sa mga friends ko heheheh.biased. Thank you sa pagpuso❤❤❤ God Bless
@@BoyetVentura Haha, totoo naman Nurse Ventura. Malay natin baka makapag work ako jan in the future, you're welcome, hahah🌼
Racism exists everywhere and no one’s a saint either. Ireland, well, in Cork to be specific there’s only few cases of racial discrimination as far as i know of. Everyone is treated fairly and with utter respect. I’m talking in regards to my workplace, neighbourhood and day today experience. Just do your own thing and no one will touch you. I’ve been here for over 2 decades now, grateful to God and to this country i call my second home. Kindest regards to everyone❤
Thank you for sharing your thoughts po regarding the matter ❤️I do agree with you.
Thank you for the honest opinion , I’m a Portuguese doctor with Indian descendent . Looking to move to Ireland but I’m scared of racism
there are good and bad people everywhere, Ireland is not exempted from it it is a wonderful place to work in. Try and , you can always go somewhere else if you end up not liking it. Goodluck
Ireland and the Irish are not racist, so get a grip. We are just sick and tired of the thousands of freeloading foreigners pouring into the country and living off the irish taxpayers. If people want to work hard and pay their taxes we have no issue with them. But what do you expect ? To be considered as a local? To be a part of a community that has evolved over many, many years ? That's just not possible after a few years, you don't share our history, our heritage our struggles, we will be polite and considerate and never judge you for where you come from, you are judged on the type of person you are
Whole villages of Portuguese before eu
Racism against white too in Ireland?
So why do you think the irish will be racist ? Is it because they ate objecting to thousands of economic migrants, totally unvetted, being placed in their communities, because they object to their tax contributions being used to look after these unvetted economic migrants. Object to the fact that these people are claiming to be refugees when they are clearly not ! I think you will find that the Irish people will welcome anybody who enters the country legally, has identification documents, and has a job so can pay taxes etc. Being willing to integrate and respect the Irish culture and way of life is also Important. We have had people coming into our country, availing of all the help, support etc, contributing nothing, committing offences, behaving dreadfully and calling us racist, saying we need to change!!!! We don't want these people, we seriously object to these people, that's not racism its reasonable under the circumstances !!
People who come to Ireland for work and belong to a community religious group or family and have a job get along well in Ireland because they don’t have to make too much of an effort to adjust to the Irish way of life there is a big community of Philippines living in Ireland so his experience of life here is much different to a single person struggling to fit into any Irish community unless you have something valuable to offer and are a professional independent person I’m Irish and I find it difficult as a single person after spending some years in other countries to fit in an find a sense of belonging and welcome there is racisms in Ireland just as it exists in any country it helps if a person can make the necessary efforts to adjust to the culture and not take anything too personal thank you for your video
Nice cinematography and audio quality, keep up the good work po .
🙏 thank you!
I worked with brilliant Filipino nurses and loved working with them I come from Scotland and worked as a nurse for 19 years and married to an Irish women.I missed Scotland as I didn't feel included and I always felt that I wasn't Irish and the point was made.
For all the great immigrants that have come to the country that have contributed to the state I feel over the last year due to unvetted mass immigration Ireland has become more racist and I see more hatred and distrust of immigrants coming into the country and I think that anyone who doesn't appear to be Irish are facing the consequences of poor immigration policies by the government. I have enjoyed working with nurses from all over the world and I don't care where they come from but over the last 20 years we have changed from a country of emigration to immigration and due to children integrating from different countries and cultures the children of Ireland will have a greater perspective and understanding of immigration being a positive outcome and where we can live in harmony and tolerance
Yeah theres no racism in sri lanka, so why were the tamils looking for independence? The reality is that out treacherous politicians have flooded our country eith foreigners to the extent that nearly a quarter of the population have zero irish heritage, its seems out politicians wont stop until we're a minority in our own country . They are hooked on corporation tax receopts.
Continue in making vlog kuya! Thank you for giving the pros and cons of living in Ireland. Pero one thing is for sure, mas respetado and well compensated tayo jan kesa sa pinas, been a nurse in PH for 8+ yrs.
Happy but also sad story: here in Ireland, you’ll get the same treatment as how an irish would be treated in general. That means, your salary, the taxes you are paying, house rent fees, bills and utilities are fairly as same as how an irish would spend to survive in their own country. Many refugees had been welcomed here with so much inclusivity and good treatment, even further than how they are being treated in other countries. Most of them get to stay in a hotel, comfortable and able to eat 3 times a day without having to work or operate a business for free (not applicable to all refugees). Now thats a good thing, but imagine the rate percentage of homeless Irish nationals that you would encounter in big cities such as Dublin and Cork, spending winter nights on the streets. It seemed very unfair knowing that others are being treated so well, and are being supported in order to survive their daily lives whilst their own people are suffering. The cost of living in Ireland is not a joke, it is considered as one the most expensive cost of living in the world, and in order to keep yourself warm on winter days, feed yourself and keep up with the tides, you have to be able to meet ends. And by that you need to be hustling and bustling, and if I were a born Irish, I would be sad to know that at the end of it all, I don’t get to survive with free apartment and food and that I have to pay taxes and all other bills and utilities. I think Irish are really happy to welcome all (not just refugees) people from different races, it’s just a matter of probably others that needs to be more giving back to the local community in any shape or form; for example, If I am one refugee receiving benefits from the irish government, maybe I’ll spend time to donate my time in charity shops, or be employed in a small shop that are not able to suffice the extensive high cost of running a business for a minimal fee. Its a way of giving back, and probably in that manner, many irish would be a lot happier to welcome any person in particular, might you be a refugee or not. I wouldn’t also blame some of the refugees for not involving themselves so much in the community as most of them are not able to speak the language fluently. But again, as someone who is not of an Irish DNA, maybe we should have a lil bit of sensitivity to extend ourselves and be involved in giving back to the community. Maybe, if you are one of those lucky refugees, you can probably host a homeless Irish if you encounter one, or maybe share a little bit of what you have, in a form of food or monetary value.
I would be very honest, I had been discriminated by one person (Irish) at my workplace. Here’s the tea: as winter is considered dull for businesses in small town and counties here in Ireland, business owners tends to reduce the working hours of some employees as there is no demand, even some were not given any hours for the entire two months. I wasn’t subjected for a reduced hours as I was bonded with a contract from the company, and the ones affected were my Irish colleagues. Of course, one wasn’t happy to have been reduced with working hours as that means she’ll be paid way less than the usual or not being paid at all for two months. And this is where her mind got triggered. I became a talk of the town for “taking her/their hours” and would always have a sharp look from her, and was never treated well. Not to mention Irish (specially ladies) are very well known for spending so much of their time gossiping. Naging topic ako ng tsismis, dahil ayon sa kanya, kasalanan ko ang pagkabawas ng oras niya. Sad right? But I dont blame them. We are all in need of a fair share of pizza slice at the end of the day. I even overheard she said to other mate, that I shouldn’t get a good treatment as I am not an Irish.
This is a very empathic and gentle point of view. ❤️❤️❤️ 🙏 thank you for expressing your thoughts regarding the matter☘️ I do see your point. Somebody has to give in order to take. In that way, it will be balanced.
Those who attract racial discrimination or racist people are always thinking or talking about racism because they think they sound smart when they are reciting their highly rehearsed racism monologues. Accusing others of racism is a way to manipulate another person. Racism is always the excuse, so some people can form their communities and act as if they are at war with people who saw them as incompetent or inferior. Anyway, Irish people, the few encountered are the nicest among those who sound Brit.
Im irish and worked with philipino nurses in dublin. They are lovely people and very hard workers. Ireland please treat them well, they are the best. ❤
@@autumn-g1n thank you very much for your kind words, appreciate it. ❤️🇮🇪
@@BoyetVentura. very welcome . Take good care of yourself.
Hi Boyet. That is a gorgeous park. I suppose it's in Limerick. Great for picnics. I hope we never encounter racism when we go to Ireland because my wife and family are Nepalis. I am British. Boyet, what does D ? ICK mean ?. I'm a bit slow sometimes. Ecellent vlog again, Boyet.
It depends on how light your skin is.
hello nurse ventura nakakainspire po un mga videos mo.. un sister ko po planning to apply jan sa ireland.. kaya sabi ko subcribe sa channel mo at manood ng mga vlog mo.. thank u po 😊
Thank you. 😉goodluck sa sister mo ad congratulations in advance 🇮🇪
How much is the renting price for 1BHK in Galway?
Ireland belongs to the Irish just like Philippines belongs to the Philippians
Of course 😉 who’s taking it away though?
@@BoyetVentura NGO much
@@BoyetVenturamasses of illegal migrants, the EU and big business.
Filipino nurses are more than welcome! They are caring, hardworking and community orientated. We are not racist. We are anti government policy. We have hosted immigration for decades and its only now, when the government is letting in 10,000s of unskilled young men and gaslighting us by calling them refugees and us racist. We are anti illegal migration not anti migration. We want this country to be good to migrants like you as well as natives like me.
I glad you've been treated well overall and I hope that continues... but remember, assh0les are everywhere. Ultimately, no matter where we are in the world, they can't be avoided.
So get the Irish tf outa Australia America and South Africa ffs
Ireland belongs to anyone that’s willing to contribute to the country in a positive way.
Since the Irish has agreed to recognize the Palestinian state UA-cam has been forwarding negative topic about the Irish. I am more Irish than the Irish UA-cam.
Firstible thank you for your input to make this video. I will go straight to point with what you state here about racism in Ireland against your community. Personally i belive that all issue about your community is becouse you lower industry standards here and i am said this as non Irish man with all respect to a place i live.
Ireland is an unique place and it will work for you only if you good about your own value .
I dont know where you got the racism in Ireland against my community? Never said that in the video. Maybe watch it and then comment? Hahah. Goodluck :)
I've received racism in Thailand, for being a white European married to a Thai national. There are racists all over the world, no different in Ireland 🇮🇪
I read the other day that Ireland has a population of around 5 million & had an influx of a million migrants over the past few years, that's 20% of the population, I'm sure any country in the world would be a little bit concerned with that amount of immigration.
All I will say is, when Ireland was a poor nation, you didn't see 1 million migrants trying to live there, why now?
But you are in Thailand,.come back to Yr country 😂😂
@@irenentende6244 I actually live in London with my Thai wife 😜
Funny I keep getting told the uk voted for brexit as its racist yet it seems far more racism in the eu than the uk
As someone who was born and spent my early years in Ireland and have lived most of my life in America, I would say that Irish people are more welcoming to emigrants that other European countries.
BUT ,in recent years immigration has turned into an invasion and some of these immigrants are not the kind of people you want in your country..This is true in North America and in the whole of Europe also.A great example is Sweden where Stockholm is now ,and I quote "the rape capital of Europe."
I think that a period of zero immigration to America and all of Europe is now called for . Otherwise we will be looking at some serious social chaos on both sides of the Atlantic.
I say this as someone who has lived in Ireland , England ,Canada and America and has traveled widely in Western Europe.
Irish people are not bigots ,our history of oppression has made us sympathize with the downtrodden and those we perceive to have been wronged. Our sympathy for the Palestinians is a good example.The Americans ,the British and Germans back Israel to the hilt but the Irish ( and Glasgow Celtic supporters!!) go against this prevailing view and are vocal in the European Parliament in Brussels and in Dail Eireann in their support for the people of Gaza who are suffering in a way that no Europeans have suffered since World War II.
In conclusion,mass immigration has to be curtailed and that will lead to a more harmonious relationship between native people and immigrants and natural integration will follow and the sons of Phillipino nurses will play football for Kerry and Cork and rugby for Ireland !!
If you’re coming here to work welcome …. If not … Don’t …. What welcome would we receive in your country?
It’s actually a pretty welcoming country. I recommend going to places like Cebu, Boracay, Palawan.. incredible places .
Yes there are racists in Ireland but there are many many more racists in countries like the USA . There are racists everywhere sadly.
Exactly .😅👍 💯 %
I met far more racists in europe than in the usa Ireland seem to hate everyone I was in dublin a few years ago now and I found it very racist to my asian wife.
I’m Filipino who grew up in the USA… America isn’t a racist as the media tells you it is. As someone who has traveled around the world, it’s actually the least racist country I’ve been too.
Don't worry, those in the US are now converting many irish into the way of racism.
Yes sadly it does i'm Irish and i see it a lot we're not all like that💚💚❤
We're not racist we're just Full 🙏🇮🇪
i'm a filipino and i love ireland especially the people 😊 irish are friendly than americans
my girlfriend is an irish we've been 3 years in our relationship and we will be married soon😊
im a Filipino, got an offer to work as an aircraft technician in dublin, this is what i have to say, defend your country from the hordes of immigrants your gov't is taking in. Otherwise, youll end up like UK, France, Netherlands, Germany, the Nordic countries who took refugees and immigrants of strange cultures and who never wanted to assimilate to host countries' culures and way of life, but rather insists on their savage beliefs and religion to be imposed on the locals
Live in County Tyrone and the racism is 💯 I will never settle in this county cross my heart. 😊
@@JustNam66then leave. it’s simple.
Is the Philippines racist? That is the question.............Nice video...............blessings.............
Have you been to the Philippines? Generally filipino people are friendly and a bit shy. But they will greet you with a smile- ( usually) thank you!Blessings for you to
Philippines is very racist yeah. I seen how they treat their indigenous tribes there, the way they talk about them. They'd tell them that they all belong to the mountains. You're also treated unfairly for being a "Negro" as they would say. If you're black skinned you'll be made fun of
In Ireland, you will encounter racism in some places and find welcome in other places. Irish people are individuals, none alike.
Agreed.🙏
god, just go straight to the point. all that yapping felt like years to listen to.
❤️❤️❤️ may God bless your patience for listening and taking the time to comment 😅algorithm loves it😊🙏❤️ love it. hope you did not age so much. 👍
Well, if people dont like it just leave 😮
I love it soooo long as I keep to my self,work and go to Yr family. That's how I don't mingle with rude people.
I think it a Indian racism for dark skin meeting real white
😲😲😲😲
There's overt racism and covert racism (micro aggressions , very difficult to point out) . This exists everywhere for people of colour living in white dominant countries sadly and th3 darker your skin , the more you will experience this. Im happy that this video was made. Its important to identify it and share the truth in the experiences of POC's
1:11 stay in your community then ffs
If wer so racist what's keeping them here flights and boats available
Hi, I dont know, people have been commenting here by just reading the thumbnail or title, but havent watched the video. In the video I explained that wherever you go there will be good and bad people, that’s human nature some people you will meet are nice some are just being difficult everywhere in the world, but Ireland , so far are the most friendliest people Ive met -- ( that’s the gist of the video) . 😅 but I don’t know where the boats are coming from? 😅😅😅 of flights even -- (✌️)
Go home then
shut up smelly
