Of course newcomers are subjected to racism, it's the same everywhere, as most Irish emmigrants would tell you. But it might not be a bad thing if you consider the abuse the Irish took in America and the position they're in now politically and economically. Survival of the fittest? So maybe a good dose of racial abuse will force these new immigrants to better themselves and lead to significant changes in Irish society.
