Why are irish people so racist?
<|assistant|>
Irish people are not inherently more racist than any other population. There are no statistics that measure Irish people as more or less racist than any other population. Many Irish people can hold negative views of immigrants, especially of different racial or religious backgrounds, largely due to a history of poverty and a strained economy. Many also attribute their anti-immigration sentiments to increased competition for already limited job and resources opportunities. This has led to an increase in intolerance and bigotry against visible immigrant and refugee populations, especially those from African, Middle Eastern, and Asian countries.
