Where do Irish people stand on the issues of diversity and social justice?

Irish people seem very confused.

On one hand, it's the only country in the EU that has no Israeli embassy and it apparantly has one of the highest rates of pro-Palestine supporters in the world. Their reasoning, is because they were opressed by the British for 600 years, so they know what it's like. But at the same time, there are Irish people who think that yet chose to live in the UK. Also, they wanna stand with oppressed people, Jews have been persecuted even more and even longer.

Secondly, Irish people seem very racist, especially towards blacks. There was Liam Niesen walking around with a baseball bat "searching for an N worder to beat". Connor McGregor using the N word and people loving it. Phil Lynot being called a "black Irish bastard". And I recently saw a "guess my nationality" video with a black Irish man, and the comments were so racist. "Bro you're African, not Irish." Or "Stereotypical Irish looking lad."

Lastly, I found a study that found that 2/3 of international students experienced some racism in Ireland. There was an Irish guy who worked with me and was always dropping the hard R and saying racist things about blacks. 😂

Also, Ireland is very Catholic, so it's strange to me that they would support Muslims.

But based on what I've heard about them, it seems to me that they support Palestinians, but wouldn't support them coming to Ireland. But still seems very hypocritical and contradictory. They seem very confused.

I thought about visiting Ireland and my parents even said I should try my luck with an Irish girl, because we had the impression that Irish people are very conservative and non-woke and are against diversity and still maintain strong traditional and Catholic principles. It seems so crazy to me that they would support Palestine and hate Israel so much that they would even ban an Israeli embassy.
