    That is some savage shit. If Eminem were at the table, he would have taken notes.

    Edit: I mean, yeah, he did go overboard, but that Israeli guy started it with the stupid ass potato joke. That shit was (1) uncalled for and (2) played out. If the Israeli guy goes to HR, they need to reprimand his ass, too, for trying to being offensive and sucking at it. At least my man here knows how to strike. You want him on your team.

          The Irish genocide is far enough in the past to have become sort of “folklore”.
          No one who experienced it is still alive or in living memory.
          That makes it better suited for small talk, and not equivalent to the Israeli genocide.

            Oh it’s still in living memory, Ireland and Irish culture still hasn’t recovered from it.

          The potato blight was a natural disaster.
          The famine was caused by the British exporting the same amount of potatoes out of Ireland as before.

            They didn’t export potatoes out of Ireland, they exported everything else. Meaning there was no other food but potatoes for the Irish to eat.
