It has caused me problems here in Sweden.
I know a few other Irish who have also had problems because some Swedes are starting to conflate Irish with traveller-roma.

BBC News - British men forced into 'modern slavery' abroadCriminal elements of the British and Irish travelling community have been transporting vulnerable British men abroad to work as virtual slaves.
An investigation by the BBC Ten O'Clock News and Radio 5 Live Breakfast has uncovered at least 32 victims.
The European Commission describes it as modern slavery and says this is the tip of the iceberg.
There have been confirmed cases in six European countries, including Sweden, Norway and Belgium.
The gangs pick vulnerable men off the streets in the UK, who are often homeless and many have drink or drugs problems.

Really appalling stuff. I hope an example is set if these 'people' are found guilty.

Why the 'people'? Do you think they are something other than people?
Yes I do in fact. If what has been said in evidence is true then they are no better than vermin. Would you disagree?
Careful now. That's the road Hitler and the Nazis went down with their superior Aryan race and those 'subhuman' Russians propaganda.
I think we may have to check your family tree to make sure you have no traveller blood to confirm you are not somehow inferior or subhuman.

Where did I even mention travellers. It makes no odds to me what they call themselves.
So long as it's not 'people', obviously.
