'A black British woman who is guest-editing a Twitter account that represents the people of Ireland has been targeted by racists on Twitter - for not being Irish enough. ', "James Hendicott, who's also had a stint at running the account, said: 'Interesting that almost nobody took issue with me (a Brit+I said so) running the account.", "I'm sorry :('\u200f@cdasilva added: '@ireland welcome to the account :) most of us don't care where you're from.", " Many non-natives, non-residents, and persons of colour have gone before me on the account so I felt happy to apply.
