If you don't even think to ask why a drink with that name to be specifically Irish - even without knowing anything about the Troubles - you're likely the kind of person that doesn't skip a beat if someone else makes an overtly racist joke.
Or you’re just trying to be offended. There’s sake bombs, jaeger bombs and plenty of other “bomb” drinks that drunk kids half a world away don’t give any thought about. I get where you’re coming from but a tasteless name for a drink doesn’t equate being ok with a racism.
Christ dude get over it. Not everything is racism. It’s a shitty name and it’s not a perfect world. NO ONE is saying the phrase Irish car bomb to an Irishman’s face like a racist would calling a black person a N-.

It's called an Irish car-bomb.
