A St Patrick's Day-themed club night has been scrapped after people called the promoter's decision to hire a dwarf actor dressed as a leprechaun 'highly offensive.'
An invite was sent on WhatsApp encouraging people to attend the party tonight at Cargo, in Printworks in Manchester St Patrick’s DayPromoter DNA Events sent out an invite on WhatsApp encouraging people to attend the party tonight at Cargo, in Printworks in Manchester.
‘Obviously it’s been much discussed among university students who are Irish, and I know I’ve received several messages from people saying: “Oh my god, have you seen this? It’s horrible.” People saying: “I cannot believe that’s real.”‘I was shocked but not surprised when I saw it. This kind of casual racism toward Irish people in the community is nothing new, particularly around this time of year.
Labour Party councillor for Man Pat Karney added: “I thought we had left this Irish stereotyping behind us years ago. This is truly pathetic and an insult to every Irish person. I hope they withdraw this insulting nonsense.” ‘I do not consider dressing up as a mythical creature offensive/or a racial slur against the people of Ireland. Not sure if you’ve ever travelled to Ireland on Saint Patrick’s Day, but the iconography of a leprechaun is as iconic as a shillelagh or a shamrock.
