Visit Dublin Ireland. High crime, assaults, theft, human shite on the sidewalks, people openly doing drugs on the street, homeless, people constantly begging for change and every single one of them is WHITE. It's not a race issue, it's a socioeconomic issue.

You’re full of crap. Dublin is known in more recent years for crime relative to other European cities, but it’s nowhere near the crime rates in American cities.

There were 25 murders in all of Ireland in 2021 for a rate of 0.46 per 100,000 residents. I cannot find the numbers specifically for Dublin, but even if you say half of those murder a happened just in Dublin, that’s only 12 or 13 murders in a city of over 500,000 people. For a rate of about 2 per 100,000.

Compare that to New Orleans, where there were 280 murders last year, for a rate of 70 per 100,000. Nearly 900 people were shot last year.

Dublin and American cities like New Orleans are not in the same stratosphere when it comes to violent crime.

Or how about other crime?

Robbery? Dublin: 82 per 100k. New Orleans: 541 per 100k

I’m sure many other crime stats look similar.
