Brainwashed vulnerable teenagers.
They target teenagers because thats when they are most vulnerable, looking to fit in and seeking an identity.
The degenerates targeting them need put in prison.

"Right now it is a crime to say you are black and Irish...". No it is a crime to be white and Irish, and almost every single advert has black people in it depicted as Irish. Fact. Last week my daughter was learning about black history month at school. Despite never having learnt about Irish history. One focus of the lessons was to discuss "black Irish people" who have made made positive contributions to Ireland.
A Nigerian migrant gets a full page in today's Irish Independent to cry about racism and calls for the public to be educated.
"Of course, we need to have more honest, open conversations about racism because the line that there is no racism in Ireland' is unhelpful.
But not all , just the minority who make the most noise."
'She also called on the Government to promote anti-racism initiatives, educate the public and prevent racist abuse from "dominating" social media.'
"Right now, it sounds like a crime to say there are black Irish people in Ireland. Even if you have your citizenship, if you were born here, and no matter how long you've lived here, some would say you can never be Irish." she said.'
