Irish ethnicity.
I don't think she ever had Irish citizenship.

I've read the rules. My dad can get it, I can't, though if my dad went and registered tomorrow and then I had a kid, the kid could get it.

Tyr is full of inconsistencies.

Also, if he moved to normal places, instead of racist countries, he could ask for citizenship in those places.

Where are the inconsistencies? I don't get the racist part.

Suisse & Japan are racist.

He always wants to leave where he is. Now that they won't let him stay(maybe), he's looking for ways so that he can stay.

I don't want to stay here.
I do want the power to be able to live and work anywhere on the continent rather than being trapped in England.

Now now. You could live and work in Scotland, Wales, or Northern Ireland as well.

How is Switzerland racist?

Having been there they are generally unpleasant people. So maybe that gets mistaken for being racist.

QuoteRegular naturalisation
Foreigners with no direct blood ties to Switzerland through either birth or marriage must currently live in the country for at least 12 years before they can apply for citizenship. Years spent in the country between ages ten and 20 count double. A new law reducing the number of years of residence from 12 to 10 was passed by Parliament in June 2014 and is expected to go into effect at the beginning of 2017.
The person must be well integrated, familiar with customs and traditions, law abiding, and pose no threat to internal or external security.
The State Secretariat for Migration will then "green light" an applicant's request to begin the naturalisation process but that does not mean citizenship is certain. Rather, cantons and municipalities have their own requirements that must be met. One canton, for example, might require applicants to live for two years in the region while another might require a decade. For more on the process, please visit the State Secretariat for Migration.

Yeah I've always regretted the Nazis didn't conquer Switzerland and kill about 80% of their population.

So... where is the racism there?  Or are we expanding the term "racist" to include a bunch of other things we don't like?

All of Europe can unite in disliking Switzerland.

Labour's shadow education secretary has resigned a day after being appointed. There are reports of a new shadow minister calling for MPs to be deselected. And there are stand up rows between Corbynites and rebels in the queue for coffee at the Commons canteen. What an absolute shitstorm.

No confidence result in about forty minutes.
Let's bomb Russia!
