I have noticed that there is a pronounced culture of class prejudice in Dublin. My friends from the affluent Southside seem to look down on people from the poorer areas, and also people from the socio economically deprived regions seem to have a chip on their shoulder, and inferiority complex in relating to people from the better parts of the city.

Has anyone else noticed this and is it just a Dublin thing?

Feel free to discuss.

Yes there is widespread class snobbery and oppression rampant in Dublin.

Snobby D4 types with West Brit accents who send their kids to Gael scoils, or fee paying schools (keeps the riff raff out) have always looked down on salt of the earth working class people who would give their last schilling to a neighbour for a pint of Guinness for their sick father.

If you don't have "the accent" and "the address" those snobs look down on you.

NOW THAT'S APARTHEID. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There has always been a Burlington wall keeping the working class from social mobility to the middle classes.

Working class Dubs are made to feel ashamed of their accents by the establishment and are sneered at by their "betters" who think everyone from a working class background is called Anto or Damo or Tracey or Sharon.

It's time this Class Apartheid ended.

End Class Apartheid now. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

mollybaby: Maybe Dublin should do something about the class divide before it gets even worse?

stanley8m: Living in a little flat beside ballymun is class. Really?


Killiney isn't that near Ballymun but when I drive up quickly in my Bentley it only takes a few minutes while I pass Ballymun to go to the airport for a weekend in Monaco.

I might be working class but dat dont meen I ain't got dollars. Right bud?

You I presume live in a stone cottage on the curragh away from civilised people going out to the outdoor jax and not having electricity as you want to keep your confirmation money like all culchies were told to do. rolling on the floor laughing

BentlyBoy: My Gucci suit is bright but I wouldn't say shiny.

Listen Stanley from the bog, I have an inflatable doll named Carmen who is beckoning me with those come to bed eyes of hers so I'm going to have to leave you to fantasise about one day living in Dublin instead of your stone age stone cottage with outdoor toilets, no electricity and well outside for water.

Good night Stanley, sleep well, put some ear plugs in so the sheep don't keep you awake with their screams from the other Kildare boggers having their wicked way with them.


A bit early to be going to bed when you should be out pimping your sister there bud. rolling on the floor laughing

Yeah it's certainly there, but there's plenty
Of working class that look down there
Noses at the middle and upper classes
For being hollow and plastic when not
All of them are that way

Works both ways

I have lived in the Northside, Southside and the Inner city and what got me about Dublin was the class prejudice and compulsion to conform.

As a country lad I played GAA, a bit of Rugby and some soccer and that is normal.

Try talking about soccer on the Southside or GAA or Rugby in the inner city and you will see the Class prejudice come out.

Thankfully not all dubs are like that and the GAA crowd there are the ones I get on best with. They have a bit of common sense anyway.

Why is always the north so rich and stuck up?

Why is always the south poor and hopeless?
