This is such a weird topic coming from a guy who says he hates 1. (Irish) "Gypsies," 2. the English, and 3. American conservatives / Trump voters (which btw includes African-American and Cuban conservatives) - listed in no particular order of intensity for vehement disdain.

I have an example though not so musically ... So do you find it offensive the Leprechaun being culturally appropriated by an American college football team? Do you find the image of the Leprechaun itself offensive? Are you afraid if you fall asleep on the beach a Leprechaun will drag you into the sea? ... perhaps you could be saved by a selkie.
