1. No
2. No
3. No

Discrimination relative to perceivable difference, is a Global phenomenon relative to perceivable difference.

I think that what you are referring to, is celebrity racism relative to Social Media.

It seems, to date, after one year, but with a less-than-significant response [the flaw with many polls], that the answers to #3 are decidedly "no" with very few exceptions.

Ireland's never really been a shining example of tolerance.

Speaking of Irish and American, it was a band of virtually first-Irish immigrants to America in the 1630s, I believe, who called themselves "Native American" to distinguish themselves from later Irish arrivals -  long, long before American indigenes thought to call themselves by that moniker.

As for tolerance, Doc, W.B. Yeats, a poet and playwright, was once asked how he chose Irish stage actors for his plays [Irish theater was effectively snubbed by Brits as being strictly low theater]. He replied [paraphrased]: "I go to a pub, put names of attendees in a hat and draw out the number of actors I need at random. All have sufficient pathos to be great actors."

Yep....Take history, go back and stop where suits best.

Maybe it all stops in Africa somewhere.

But I'm not up to date with anthropological trends.

Red hair....Perhaps there's a bit of Orangutan in there somewhere.....Begorrah.

No, I was asking about the general public. You and I had the same answer for number 3 though. Thanks for taking the time to post.
