The Irish don't get discriminated against. Just a white kid, fuck him. He should've used his privilege better.

No, it was because they were Irish. Are you making a point here? Because if so, it went over my head. The best I can figure is "xenophobia isn't racism", which is something I agree with. Maybe you're saying "racism is worse than xenophobia", which isn't necessarily something I agree with and depends on the context. I mean, starving a nation seems a little worse than calling someone a mean word.
