Most of the trouble that took place in Ireland was as a result of the English dispossessing traditional Irish and then exacerbating the situation by discriminating against them socially and comercialy where ever possible this eventually turned into a religious war however it was started by English thieves during the time of Cromwell.

Anything and Anyone is often discriminated against; because they're new and different. 1. Automobiles and their owners were discriminated against by horse and buggy owners in the late 1890s and early 1900s. 2. Airplanes and pilots were discriminated against by people that didn't like their noise, safety problems, and airfields replacing good farming land. 3. Indians discriminated against European settlers for moving in on them, and of course the Europeans discriminated against them when ever they came into town. 4. The Irish were heavily discriminated against in the 1840s upward; that's why many "Irish Cops" became the traditional cop...that's one of the only jobs the Irish could get. That and the US Army. 5. Europeans were discriminated against during the big migrations into Ellis Island in the 1890s and early 1900s; especially the Poles and the Italians. Which gave rise to the Mafia in America, they banded together to protect themselves. 6. In the 1970s, the former South Vietnamese began experiencing discriminations. 7. In the 1990s, the current Russian immigrants are experiencing it.
