Are leprechaun traps racist?

[purplepoppy]

A leprechaun trap is an American concept because the idea of trapping something then forcing them to hand over their gold is abhorrent to Europeans. You call it fun, we call it robbery and a very unChristian thing to do upon the Saints Day.

Another thing is these things are tiny. The average real leprechaun is about 3ft tall, small yes but these things are clearly designed to mock their lack of height, worse still they could injure elves.

The fact is, these things are racist. The reason kids never find a leprechaun the next morning is their Parents have clubbed it to death and handed the body to ICE for a reward.

Thoughts?

Excuse me, what? You are part of the British Empire? You invented forcing people to give their gold over. And we don’t hand them over to ICE just for the reward… digging holes is hard labor and these things make lousy decorations as they begin to smell in just a day or two unless you freeze them for Halloween.

There is a rumor going around that Greenland is rife with snow leprechauns and the Greenlanders are being held hostage which explains a lot. I think the government is getting ready to rescue those poor people.

Shout out to one of the greatest videos the internet has ever blessed us with….

I get positive feelings from seeing the satisfied smile from the dude in the blue hat when he gets a successful call-and-response on air from the crowd, he just looks so genuinely pleased, lmao. Love that guy😝

RACIST? Irish is an ethnicity, NOT a race, so leprechaun traps CAN'T be racist.

[FreyaRed]

I thought Brits had their penal colony in Australia but it seems most criminals disappeared from England on board of Mayflower before. Catching and robbing a fairy is clearly an epitome of soullessness and disgustingness

[SteveSmith1985]

There. Finally. This is how I remember you. I feel such a sense of relief... you have no idea.

This has everything I've been missing from you.

1. Break the Leprechaun-trap-to ICE-pipeline by any means necessary.

2. Ask the leprechaun if they want to go for a beer.

3. Do not trap the leprechaun rather ask if he (she? they?) might give the kids a delight by letting them catch a glimpse of him in return for the beer.

Leprechaun racism solved

[Shiprex]

Isn't the current US regime this very thing? They set up this (not so) elaborate trap for the gullible Uhmericuns who chose the least reliable and dangerous option to put in charge of things and hey presto, things are going shittingly well.

[AviatorTom]

Let the little guy go. He won't give up his pot o gold anyway.

If you want to trap something, catch that huge rat thst lives in your cellar.

[MisterWack]

Leprechaun Genocide is a hoax orchestrated by the secret Deep State Unicorns.

Never happened, any photographs & footage & all are lies. Also Leprechauns are political prisoners for the Rainbow Riots of June 6th, 2012.

[MisterWack]

Open your peepers Sheepers

[Douglas1180]

Why do Europeans always criticize us for trapping magical beings? It's just a bit of capitalist mischief.

[Surely]

Of course they are! If you ask enough of people. I am sure that those vertically challenged green folks will be not be treated correctly! Plus no normal sized person would fit into a leprechaun trap.

[ShrunkenGuy]

Lol, obvious political undertones aside.

This is a bit of fun and a crafting project, not to be so serious about.

Just imagine the fun and hijinx if it was possible to capture a tiny leprechaun or person.

[OneViewpoint]

ROFL, is this a thing somewhere? Never heard of it before. Dunno about racist but it's strange. Aren't Leprechauns supposed to be crafty fairy creatures? Doubt they'd fall for one of these decoration traps.

[shortster]

Nope, leprechauns are a different species and not a different race.

[RedThread]

They're mythological creatures. I don't think people can be prejudiced against things that don't exist.

[Hellraiser1984]

Leprechauns don't exist. So no one can be offended.

[Dargil]

What race is that?

[purplepoppy]

The green race

[exitseven]

Nah, unless a rat gets caught in one.

[robocop666]

The leprechaun made me do it.

[bralesswonder]

can't be racist if they don't exist

[MikeRJ]

They are anti-Irish?

[Despina6]

Na they're after their gold.
