US news site Vulture has been slammed by Irish social media users over a tweet seemingly mocking Dubliner Barry Keoghan
US publication Vulture has attracted the ire of Irish social media users over a tweet about actor Barry Keoghan which has been dubbed 'embarrassing' and 'xenophobic'.
The 31-year-old Irishman's unique outfit was one of the biggest talking points of the night, with US entertainment news website Vulture sharing a picture of Keoghan on the Met Gala red carpet along with a caption which has attracted plenty of criticism online. "I'm exhausted at Irish actors being mocked like this media that should know better," wrote one Irish X user. "We've worked very hard to move away from these stereotypes. Publicly making fun of someone because of their accent is just not on. Shame on you @Vulture."
Another added: "Didn't anyone @vulture think for a second that this could be a racist comment. If you did the same to anybody of any other race there would rightly be uproar. This is not OK. Do better."
