Public school teachers are callous dictators who won't lift a finger to stop children from peeing in my plane

The plight of taxi drivers here is really difficult.
One thing I have noticed is a number of female friends who have said that they would not take a taxi home if the driver was black and they were on their own.
On the one hand this is a form of prejudice that's clouding their decision and logically they are no more at risk from a white taxi driver than a non-white one.
On the other side, it's an irrational fear on their part. And you can't try and "actually..." that away. (As it is I have a good idea how safe and dangerous it is in Ireland. But people dont want to be told "you are totally safe. If you are attacked it was statistically unlikely to happen.")
Plus as a man, I can't really go and lecture women on their lived in experiences.
On the other hand, I think actually you can lecture people on their racist prejudices, whether they're women or not.

Is ISF an acceptable source for all my Ireland-related news or should I broaden my horizons? I'm only half-joking here.

People were doing the same poo poo during the Black Death according to written accounts, I don't think you're going to defeat what appears to be an aspect of human nature so trivially, even if I do fondly wish people weren't so loving stupid.

They seem to be handling crisis management a lot better than certain other English speaking countries.
Well, god knows they don't have stiff competition.

From a foreigner: is it considered acceptable to discuss the Troubles? I assume there's a wide gap between some foreigner saying "up the RA" to simply ignoring it happened altogether.
EDIT: Horrible loving snipe, I must apologize.
