Woman Denied Teaching Position In Seoul Due to Drunk Irish Stereotype
Either someone is really stupid or something was lost in translation with this story:
An Irish school teacher was turned away from a position in South Korea due to the “alcoholism nature of [her] kind”.
Katie Mulrennan, from County Kerry, had applied for a job in the capital Seoul after seeing the role advertised on Craigslist.
However, the 26-year-old received a rejection email telling her that she would not be offered the work because, as the stereotype goes, Irish people are drunks. [The Independent]

Sorry. Even though it MIGHT be true, the Independent has more concern over allegations that British soldiers in Iraq have done wrong than the Pakistani immigrants raping everything that moves in a certain London suburb while police know about it AND DO NOTHING FOR FEAR OF BEING CALLED RACIST…
That qualifies them for a permanent #fail.
Maybe her lucky charms weren’t magically delicious.
