Just watched Sinners

Can anyone enlighten me on why they picked on Irish immigrants? Did blues get coopted by Irish historically?

I don’t get it

    What they are referring to is what Remmick said to Preacherboy that the prayer they were reciting was passed down to him from his father who got it from the people who stole his land. I’m not well versed in the history of those parts, but I’m guessing the English vs Irish. He’s implying that he too was once upon a time a victim of oppression as well.
