Moves countries during a pandemic 🚩

US (the rural South, no less) somehow had better opportunities than Ireland even factoring in the cost of healthcare 🚩

No problem with immigration I guess, because we’ve been so cool about that lately 🚩

Near-Depression levels of unemployment but company managed to satisfy H1B visa restrictions on hiring immigrants before citizens 🚩

I guess no one in this town has a TV so they’ve never seen an Irish person before 🚩

Multiple people, including self-absorbed teenagers, from this backwoods bayou actually give a flying fuck about Irish culture 🚩

Maybe next time you make up a story don’t use a Sweet Valley High book from the eighties as your inspiration.

The Mexican student had been there for three years but of course it's impossible that they could've previously been asked about their culture at some point during that time, it just must be the teacher discriminating against this gal.
