      They said right after but that number drops right after leaving school. This includes school kids, so that number is probably right because a lot of people are proficient enough for the yest but forget it right after.

    By the logic of so many people there are no such thing as a white American, white Australian, white South Africans etc because they don’t speak the language of the indigenous people and have ancestry that originated elsewhere. Regardless of if they were born in that country or not. It doesn’t make sense. Many of the people commenting are not living in the places that their ancestors came from…

      @SmokyOle I'm not denying that Africans can be citizens of Ireland. The nation of Ireland is not just lines on a map. Have you ever been abroad? Have you been to India, sub-Saharan africa? I'm guessing not because they are GENERALLY unsafe, sexist, and racist. You don't have to go there to know we are not the same. They have their traditions,
      values and religions, and we have ours. He is not Irish, Chinese, or Japanese. It's nothing to be ashamed of, but he is African; It should really go without saying. Allowing our culture and society to be watered down with mass immigration is not virtuous. It's pathetic, and we're paying the price. Do you want Ireland to become minority Irish? Are you willing to give up your country, culture and history for the purposes of growing our GDP and creating "diversity." Do you want Ireland to become like London(minority English). Stop trying to portray your weakness as kindness.

      Tobias is a credit to both his family and Ireland. However, I was a bit confused by his response when asked about his future in Ireland. He said, 'They have good hearts, they are good people, and they're friendly and everything,' which sounded as though he didn't include himself among the Irish. Shouldn't he have said 'we' instead? It makes me wonder if he doesn't see himself as Irish. In this instance, I think he unintentionally distanced himself from the Irish people, perhaps subconsciously. Ironically, he seems to be committing the same 'microaggression' that he perceives others are guilty of.
