Stereotypes of Irish people

[1] Boxing has a long history in Ireland, and the country has produced several Olympic gold medalist boxers, including Michael Carruth, Katie Taylor, and Kellie Harrington;[2] and UFC champion Conor McGregor.

[3][4] Stereotypical Irish foods include bacon, corned beef and cabbage, and potatoes.

Furthermore, it is estimated that 46% of Ireland's population carries MC1R, the gene responsible for producing red hair.

[9] Having red hair is its own stereotype, and it is associated with undesirable behaviors, such as anger and being mischievous, "like a redheaded leprechaun".

[14] Due to many events in the shared history between the nations, such as the United Kingdom's limited assistance during the Great Famine, there is a lasting sense of Anti-British sentiment in Ireland.
