I’m sick of the “never thought I’d see X in Ireland” take.

I’ve been racially assaulted in Dublin around New Year — three years in a row. I’ve scars and hearing issues to prove it.

I’ve seen Gardaí protecting racists, and vice versa, every time.

Have you been blind since 2018?
Today, I heard an Asian creative’s brother was viciously attacked on O’Connell Street, having to attend hospital for injury care & repair.

Racists saying systematic racism doesn’t exist, cos no Black people have died before

System’s been wanting all POC to stfu and die a while.
That’s not just the Gardaí.

That’s public spaces; healthcare, education and discursive spaces; our access to opportunities against system belief that ‘assessing single outcomes = objectively assessed merit’— when existing alone is an outcome White people never need to attain.
