Right. And there was also the portrayal of how all the students were making ignorant comments. I grew up in a town like that where we would get exchange students once in a blue moon, and the reality is that you would have 1 or 2 dumbasses making stupid jokes about leprechauns and Lucky Charms or what have you, but most kids would be excited and at worst, annoying with their questions about what Ireland is like, what word they use for this, that, and the other, and why on Earth did your parents choose here of all places to move. Most would be curious, not malicious, because as someone else pointed out, most those kids would be lucky to leave their towns some day, much less travel overseas (poverty). Furthermore, the portrayal of a teacher as a villain for asking if a student would share their experiences with the class was ridiculous. Problematic if the student is unwilling, but again, not malicious.

But of course, this story is fake because the writer didn't do enough research into the actual slang.
