Soft Mick is the name of a fictitious character, *possibly* based on *a*
stupid Irishman. If you want to read into that that anyone who mentions
said character thinks that all Irishmen are thick then that's up to you.

No, but the words 'Soft Mick' bloody are.

I love the way some people can dismiss almost anything offensive
by claiming opposition is 'political correctness'. The word being
objected to wasn't 'Irishman', it was 'Mick'.
Dunno where the feck you come from, but down here on earth it's
derogatory and always has been.
