Irish Immigrants

The potato famine lead to a massive immigration to America from Ireland. Over a short period of time the urban landscape was changed dramatically and caused many social issues. Discrimination against these immigrants was common and caused crime rates to rise since they couldn't get many jobs to support themselves. This is a reoccurring event in human history. Every time a culture clashes with another there is always one that loses and becomes the "lesser race" or assimilates and loses its identity. In America, cultures clash because of the freedom of anyone to be a citizen. Unfortunately human nature hasn't changed and racism and discrimination and highlighted. There is no unified social norm in America but only a meshing of different races coexisting but not truly accepting the others.
