Why do the Irish have tempers?
<|assistant|>
The Irish have a reputation for having tempers because of their history of oppression by colonialism and their difficulty in being heard and appreciated during these times. Many of the struggles faced by the Irish throughout history have been a result of trying to assert their rights, which have in turn led to many violent conflicts. This has earned the Irish the reputation for having short tempers.  Additionally, due to the fact that the culture of Ireland is very passionate and emotional, these tempers have often resulted in overreactions and outbursts. Thus, the Irish have a strong reputation for having tempers, due to the combination of a passionate culture and a history of oppressions.  Lastly, it has been observed that the Irish are much more likely to verbalize their strong emotions than people of other cultures, making the "green-eyed" or "black Irish" stereotypes still visible in society today.
