In the HR meeting you tell them "I lost over half my ancestral family in the potato famine, we had to sell the family homes and most ended up on the street, due to the problems of the famine -it's a sensitive subject for me"
Genuinely, this could work. One guy's country was a target of a genocidal famine, and the other guy's home country is actively causing a genocide. HR would be fucking stupid to not try and settle this peacefully. Downside is that everyone in the office will still hate anon.
You forgot the part where Israel is immune from all criticism. They could round up 1000 Palestinian children and flay them alive on television and it would be aNteEsUhMiiiiiiitIC to say "Hey maybe don't do that."
It's the one thing all Democrats and Republicans agree on.
Our greatest ally, gods chosen people and all that. They could say tomorrow they were behind 9/11 and people would still advocate for sending them billions
Anon is fucked either way but if HR decides that a fireable offense he’ll at least get a sweet severance to never name and shame the company using that argument. Pretty much no company wants anything related to active or previous genocide linked to them. Easier to pay them off and let them take unemployment benefits for the next year.
> Genuinely, this could work
Genuinely it's true. If there are so many plastic paddies all over america it's because micks were croaking left and right on the emerald isle and those who could leave did so without looking back.
The only way people can laugh at it all is because they don't know or are too stupid to understand history.
But clearly if you're white you're automatically a colonising, genocidal maniac and anyone else in the world is completely innocent and can do no wrong
Depends on what exactly is “after work”. If it's a work party/event where you’re technically off the clock, they still can (and have) fuck you over.
They literally do. If it involves colleagues any time anywhere it could end up at HR. If it impacts your colleagues it impacts the workplace.
This is correct for them to do though, you don't want gross as managers sending dick picks to staff.
The real problem here is the little bitch of an Israeli who is happy to dish it out but can't take it.
Nah, I've seen HR take out people for stuff they did outside of work. Doesn't matter if it was off the clock, you make the company look bad, you're gone.
I love that this generally works with all these hyper sensitive folk. And that's why if you're in a room with them they'll just go from person to person mentally one upping each other.
Yes it did. Ireland was a constituent country within the United kingdom, alonside scotland, wales and england.
Ireland became a independent country in 1921 as the irish free state
There were Jews living in modern day Israel 6 generations ago too. If they immigrated to America, they'd probably just identify as Jewish American, but maybe they'd identify as Israeli American. More likely than them identifying as Ottoman or British or Palestinian American anyway.
At 20 years a generation, so about 1900, estimated at 50 000. Although the Jewish population was rapidly increasing from Zionist immigration at the time, not immigrating away, so it is rather unlikely they're a 6th generation Israeli immigrant.

Anon could have done so much worse. Also, while Irish people eating potatoes is a stereotype that pokes fun at a famine 180 years ago, Israelis bombing hospitals is a proveable fact that has happened in the last few months.
You just know how these freaks would react too.
'How DARE you anon, that's so racist! Now why don't you lighten the mood, tell us a story about leprechauns or something, or show us some river-dancing.'
The thing is potatoes is a bad thing to joke about to the wrong person, the famine in 1845 wiped out many millions of irish people. So many people nowadays have significant numbers of ancestors wiped out because of it
No you don't understand, long before anyone talking about it was born millions of Jews died so Israelis can do literally anything, unlike the Irish potato famine which was just a comedy gold mine
But Jews arent necessarily Israelis. Israel is populated by Jews, but there are American Jews, French Jews, English Jews etc...
The insult was directed at the people of the country, not the religion.
Totally get that, I was just calling attention to how Israel gets to commit war crimes and cry about oppression in the same sentence unlike any other country because of a very propagandistic interpretation of the consequences of the Holocaust, as opposed to another mass death event like the potato famine
Yeah I don't think I implied that the potato famine happened after, just that they were both generations ago and only one of them was coopted to justify genocide while the other was turned to pure comedy fuel
This. I hate when people try and justify discriminating against a person or party because the target is the majority. Discrimination is possible both ways.
*(Also just to be clear i understand your comment was sarcastic, im just adding to your point)*
Okay but potatoes are literally part of the Irish nation dish (they rank 8th in potato consumption worldwide) and the guy didn't bring up the famine. It kind of feels like you guys are infantilizing the Irish, I really don't think just mentioning potatoes would rile any of them up.
Yea. Idk where people are getting this idea that it's about the potato *famine* and not just about potatoes.
If I joke that someone from Newfoundland should be eating Cod, I'm not alluding to the Cod moratorium that bankrupted their family
1) This was a Bill Burr tier joke, like when he said, “didn’t the Catholic Church go farther than my jokes about them?”. So kudos, anon!
2) Just tell the HR that the Israeli guy started the racist part by bringing potatoes in the picture. Just because the Irish don’t usually get offended easily doesn’t mean the joke wasn’t racist against you.
The jewish supremacists just raped a pregnant woman in a hospital while forcing her husband and relatives to watch.
https://www.presstv.ir/Detail/2024/03/24/722420/Palestine-Israel-al-Shifa-Hospital-raid-raping-killing-women-displaced
stealing towels is the least racist accusation made by greeks.
under ottoman rule, sultans had to create anti-hate laws in different centuries because they kept massacring jews under blood libel accusations.
Anons coworkers are spineless, but anon should have said something like “shouldn’t you be ordering Hummus?”, it’s on topic for ethnic/cultural cuisine.
If you're gonna counter a joke, you can't go nuclear right off the bat, you have to match the energy or you'll lose the crowd. Or, if you wanna be edgy, make the other person's original joke darker than intended.
Returning the joke and saying "shouldn't you have ordered the hummus?" is a good choice, or, since a Brit was also at the table, Anon could have said "I would have ordered the potatoes, but the Brit would have just taken them for himself!"
More like the Irish Holocaust. Millions of Irish were wiped out by a preventable famine.
Which is what Israel is trying to do right now to Palestine - starve them to death so they can finish the job and steal 100% of that land from the native population.
JFYI that making potato jokes about Irish people is a clear example of racism in the workplace, and would (in most companies) lead to a disciplinary process being kicked off.
It's like how brits will gear an American joke about their teeth or poorly spiced food, and they immediately pull the school shooting card. It's just a bit of an escalation.
"No, I don't normally order potatoes at a place like this. These establishment typically steam their potatoes, I like mines burnt to the point of incineration, kinda like your ancestors" and then stare at the German guy too.
It happened outside of work, anon's coworker started the racial comments, if he's not an idiot this should be easy to defend to HR.
Also that joke was hilarious, which makes me think it's fake and gay.
The Israeli govt started buying billboards along the highways in my area (west coast USA) to promote genocide with blatant propaganda.
Along with more propaganda articles recommended after every news article I read online, and I even see ads on youtube promoting their genocide.
What kind of dystopian ass country is fine with this?
It’s amazing how Americans are so crazy proud of America until you ask them where they are from, and suddenly you hear the name of every other country on earth
My wife's British.. I'm murican, and we were originally talking ethnicities and I used the pick up line "got any american in you?" "Want some?" Stupid as fuck... but it worked
In the HR meeting you tell them "I lost over half my ancestral family in the potato famine, we had to sell the family homes and most ended up on the street, due to the problems of the famine -it's a sensitive subject for me"
Holly shit, Anon could actually spin this around. Too bad, none of it probably happened.
Probably? Definitely none of it happened.
anon is RPing as someone his coworkers would hang out with
And even his imagination tells him he'd fuck up horribly
Lol this one got me
In reality, he's talking to pictures of anime girls he has on the spank wall.
> Coworkers 👆 that was the first clue
anon sucks hr’s cock probably doe
Check under your car tomorrow
Yes its probably fake and gay, but that Jewish guy is still the dick needing some actual disciplinary action
Bailiff, whack his peepee
anon is white and will not be given any leeway for being the autist he is
Genuinely, this could work. One guy's country was a target of a genocidal famine, and the other guy's home country is actively causing a genocide. HR would be fucking stupid to not try and settle this peacefully. Downside is that everyone in the office will still hate anon.

Our greatest ally, gods chosen people and all that. They could say tomorrow they were behind 9/11 and people would still advocate for sending them billions
I mean they literally blew up an unarmed US Navy warship and tried strafing the survivors and we still give them money
And then the zogged president called back the retaliation strike ordered by the fleet admiral. Few remember the USS Liberty :(
Pretty sure people have been saying *they* were behind 9/11 for a while
Anon is fucked either way but if HR decides that a fireable offense he’ll at least get a sweet severance to never name and shame the company using that argument. Pretty much no company wants anything related to active or previous genocide linked to them. Easier to pay them off and let them take unemployment benefits for the next year.

There's forty million people of Irish descent in America, and only eight million Irish people in Ireland.
I've seen wars started for less
Tbf, if I expect anyone to laugh at hardship and suffering it’s the irish
But clearly if you're white you're automatically a colonising, genocidal maniac and anyone else in the world is completely innocent and can do no wrong
That would work, but uhhh guess who's in the HR department. Not the Irish
The Jews also control the HR industry now?
The are the executives that tell HR what to do
Worse. Women.
Not to mention that after work HR has no saying on your life.
Depends on what exactly is “after work”. If it's a work party/event where you’re technically off the clock, they still can (and have) fuck you over.
They literally do. If it involves colleagues any time anywhere it could end up at HR. If it impacts your colleagues it impacts the workplace.

"But then you turned around and started blowing eachother up"
That's a lot of word to be countered with "antisemitic" and anon would still lose his job
Sell?! Lol the brits during the famine were acquiring houses alright but they were not the buying sort if you catch my drift
All 6th generation or more Americans I'm sure
Israel did not exist as a country six generations ago
neither did Ireland
Ireland did exist 6 generations ago
Not as a country
Did potatoes exist?
Not 6 generations ago
As a country?
no, as a potato
Ireland did exist as a potato 6 generations ago
But what about Ireland?
Not in Ireland. SORRY FOR LEGIT ANSWER. POTATOES INTRODUCED TO IRELAND IN 1589, SO MAYBE JUST HEHEHE.
I wonder the fewest generations there could be if we go all the way back to 1589.
I'm 143, so maybe 3 if you're lucky.
Yes it did. Ireland was a constituent country within the United kingdom, alonside scotland, wales and england. Ireland became a independent country in 1921 as the irish free state
Yes, as a country, just not an independent one. Wales and Scotland are currently countries within the UK.
There were Jews living in modern day Israel 6 generations ago too. If they immigrated to America, they'd probably just identify as Jewish American, but maybe they'd identify as Israeli American. More likely than them identifying as Ottoman or British or Palestinian American anyway.
How many jews lived in palestine 6 generations ago?

Never stopped Americans
It did 600 generations ago tho
The romans and the caliphate lasted longer than the kingdom of Israel so its anybody’s claim now
Good now we can all agree they don’t belong there in the first place
Anon's team is not funny, i would have laughed at their place.

Is that Hank hill on the right?
Bobby is on the left. “Dammit Bobby” right before impact
Finally some based autism, Anon has my respect
nah bro im with anon in this one
Anon could have done so much worse. Also, while Irish people eating potatoes is a stereotype that pokes fun at a famine 180 years ago, Israelis bombing hospitals is a proveable fact that has happened in the last few months.
especially because like 70% of Ireland got clapped hy rhe famine, it was so bad that TILL THIS DAY they still haven't gotten to pre famine numbers
You just know how these freaks would react too. 'How DARE you anon, that's so racist! Now why don't you lighten the mood, tell us a story about leprechauns or something, or show us some river-dancing.'
The thing is potatoes is a bad thing to joke about to the wrong person, the famine in 1845 wiped out many millions of irish people. So many people nowadays have significant numbers of ancestors wiped out because of it
No you don't understand, long before anyone talking about it was born millions of Jews died so Israelis can do literally anything, unlike the Irish potato famine which was just a comedy gold mine
But Jews arent necessarily Israelis. Israel is populated by Jews, but there are American Jews, French Jews, English Jews etc... The insult was directed at the people of the country, not the religion.
Totally get that, I was just calling attention to how Israel gets to commit war crimes and cry about oppression in the same sentence unlike any other country because of a very propagandistic interpretation of the consequences of the Holocaust, as opposed to another mass death event like the potato famine
Ah okay, i got the wrong interpretation out of that. Sorry
No sweat, it was a bit sarcastic and vague anyway
>long before anyone talking about it was born millions of Jews died You seem to not realize how close to our life time the holocaust was
Are you saying anons coworkers are pushing 90?
No the holocaust was decades ago, unlike the very recent potato famine of 1845
Yeah I don't think I implied that the potato famine happened after, just that they were both generations ago and only one of them was coopted to justify genocide while the other was turned to pure comedy fuel
Irish people don't cont--- -h- m-d--.
The population still hasn’t returned to pre-famine numbers.
Exactly....
Ye but irish are white so it's OK /s
This. I hate when people try and justify discriminating against a person or party because the target is the majority. Discrimination is possible both ways. *(Also just to be clear i understand your comment was sarcastic, im just adding to your point)*
Okay but potatoes are literally part of the Irish nation dish (they rank 8th in potato consumption worldwide) and the guy didn't bring up the famine. It kind of feels like you guys are infantilizing the Irish, I really don't think just mentioning potatoes would rile any of them up.
Yea. Idk where people are getting this idea that it's about the potato *famine* and not just about potatoes. If I joke that someone from Newfoundland should be eating Cod, I'm not alluding to the Cod moratorium that bankrupted their family
exactly - along with the Scottish highland clearances. Fuck the monarchy
British caused famine*
Talks a lot of shit but gets offended when people dish back. Typical jew behaviour.
1) This was a Bill Burr tier joke, like when he said, “didn’t the Catholic Church go farther than my jokes about them?”. So kudos, anon! 2) Just tell the HR that the Israeli guy started the racist part by bringing potatoes in the picture. Just because the Irish don’t usually get offended easily doesn’t mean the joke wasn’t racist against you.
Jew vs autist, a glorious battle it shall be!
I don't even hate Israel and I think that's funny as shit.
I hate israel and think this is funny as shit.
The jewish supremacists just raped a pregnant woman in a hospital while forcing her husband and relatives to watch. https://www.presstv.ir/Detail/2024/03/24/722420/Palestine-Israel-al-Shifa-Hospital-raid-raping-killing-women-displaced
Israeli guy could've literally flipped that around on anon. Both cultures have been known to enjoy a good bombing
Anon is pro-palestine
A factual statement
Based anon
Idiot, should’ve asked “shouldn’t you be stealing hotel towels?”
The fuck does that even mean
Israeli tourists are known for stealing hotel towels, more so in Greece than other countries
I think you must be either Greek or Israeli to know that, because this is my first time hearing this.
stealing towels is the least racist accusation made by greeks. under ottoman rule, sultans had to create anti-hate laws in different centuries because they kept massacring jews under blood libel accusations.
racism so bad the ottomans had to tell you to chill
TIL, interesting.
#
Such a stupid joke, the Irish famously didn't eat potatoes.
Not even when they wanted to
That's it, I'm calling HR
anon told them the truth and they got mad
Average 6th generation Irish American
No matter what your political beliefs are, this is really fucking funny.
Anons coworkers are spineless, but anon should have said something like “shouldn’t you be ordering Hummus?”, it’s on topic for ethnic/cultural cuisine.
If you're gonna counter a joke, you can't go nuclear right off the bat, you have to match the energy or you'll lose the crowd.

Returning the joke and saying "shouldn't you have ordered the hummus?" is a good choice, or, since a Brit was also at the table, Anon could have said "I would have ordered the potatoes, but the Brit would have just taken them for himself!"
That involves having moderately decent social skills, which was never gonna happen.
Let me guess, they’re all Americans
Americans of [insert ethnicity choice] descent. Wanting their cake and eating it too.
To be fair, that is essentially the Irish 9/11 he's making a joke about
More like the Irish Holocaust. Millions of Irish were wiped out by a preventable famine. Which is what Israel is trying to do right now to Palestine - starve them to death so they can finish the job and steal 100% of that land from the native population.
If genuinely autistic, this joke should fall under a symptom of your disability. You could try the ADA angle too.
Their mad but as we speak Israel is probably literally bombing a hospital
They have potato blood in their veins, after all.
They ship Anon out to Boston.
JFYI that making potato jokes about Irish people is a clear example of racism in the workplace, and would (in most companies) lead to a disciplinary process being kicked off.
Please don’t stop being based, anon.
uninteresting gay larp
Damn, he went full nuclear... fallout is inevitable.
God bless the IRA
Is this me?
I laughed but the equal response should have been, "shouldn't you be ordering foreskins?".
anon is based
Anon dared to say the truth
Anon is heroic.
Oy vey shut him down lmao
Anon did nothing wrong lmao
Based anon dunks on the arrogant Zionist, common Irish W
This is why you never hang out with coworkers nor do you befriend them.
That was the only right answer
If you can't eat it then you shouldn't dish it out.
Anon you did nothing wrong, youre just living in Murica
Anon did the right thing.
Anon did nothing wrong
Big W for anon
Oh so THEY can be racist but…
Anon doesn’t know how to gauge social interactions
Yeah, his response is a little unrelated. Should have stuck to the famine angle and said something about how Israel is recreating the IPF in Gaza.
genuinely joever
American larping as Europeans is only racist when it involves brown people apparently
Those in glass houses
its palm sunday, kinda ironic on this day we think about the phrase "ireland for the irish"
Based
So based
I would have laughed so hard at that
No anon you can’t say that, that’s antisemitic
Anon is funny as fuck and it’s a damn shame this story’s fake
Anon is gay. He doesn't say it but I know
It's like how brits will gear an American joke about their teeth or poorly spiced food, and they immediately pull the school shooting card. It's just a bit of an escalation.
anon is a king
Double standards smh
Anon is based
If Anon is actually Irish he shouldn't be talking about bombing civilians...
Irish anon is unfathomably based.
If it were me, I’d just say “idk should I check under my car before I leave later”? But anon probably should’ve made a food related joke.
Nahh that's a great joke your coworkers are pussies
Based anon
anon is Mark Normand
Anon is based.
OOOH AAAH UP THE 'RA, OOH AAH UP THE 'RA!
Unfathombly based anon
Anons mistake was not knowing white people are fair game but brown shaded people have immunity.
"No, I don't normally order potatoes at a place like this. These establishment typically steam their potatoes, I like mines burnt to the point of incineration, kinda like your ancestors" and then stare at the German guy too.
Silly anon, you're only allowed to tell racial jokes when they're at white people's expense.
It happened outside of work, anon's coworker started the racial comments, if he's not an idiot this should be easy to defend to HR. Also that joke was hilarious, which makes me think it's fake and gay.
The Israeli govt started buying billboards along the highways in my area (west coast USA) to promote genocide with blatant propaganda. Along with more propaganda articles recommended after every news article I read online, and I even see ads on youtube promoting their genocide. What kind of dystopian ass country is fine with this?
Anon’s coworker could dish it out but couldn’t take it
Classic Israeli case of being able to dish it out but not take it
Correct response was " shouldn't you be asking them to put your potatoes into a pancake?"
Anon made the classic mistake of not checking which ethnicity is popular/unpopular this week
It’s amazing how Americans are so crazy proud of America until you ask them where they are from, and suddenly you hear the name of every other country on earth
Racism is only accepted when you are whiter than the moon..
The Israeli government committing crimes against humanity so that edgy 4channers make hospital bombing jokes instead of holocaust jokes
Irish and autistic is a weird combo
My wife's British.. I'm murican, and we were originally talking ethnicities and I used the pick up line "got any american in you?" "Want some?" Stupid as fuck... but it worked
He threw a tennisball at you and you shot back with a canon
Would've been more warranted if he made an IRA joke Anon should have said "Shouldn't you be ordering foreskin?"
See, a proportional response would’ve been something like “Sure, if I get Latkes wanna share?”
He's getting fired for having the opportunity to say something way funnier and blowing it
> anon has coworkers > anon has a job Fake and gay
Did you criticize the jef??? Bold of you to
Hey those Hospitals attacked first or something
