Irish's Place could improve by better representing the Irish people! As an Irish Canadian I am disgusted by the overt hatred displayed on the sign in the window stating that farm workers born in other countries are unwelcome. These farm workers are good people who work local farms in order to provide food for local people... doing work which local people are unwilling to do. Lack of these workers would result in these farms failing followed by other losses of local businesses, likely including Irish's Place.
All minority groups loathe seeing one of their own displaying uncivil behavior! That is why this Irish/Canadian girl is disgusted by the ignorant signage displayed in a window who's owner implies they themselves are Irish so would be former immigrants who were themselves very unwelcome and horribly treated by other Americans who were also immigrants though they had gotten there first, so felt they had the right to discriminate against the next person to come...just as this establishment is doing now. Think about it.
Irish's Place should stop shaming their fellow Irish people and either get rid of their racist sign or change the name of their business.
I know well the impact of immigration here in Canada and am proud, enriched and unharmed by the diversity of my neighborhood which includes all colors and religions so it cannot be said that I don't understand.
Thanks for your time and consideration, Linda Burnett read more
