Sinners - Irish Demonization? (feddit.nl)

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

I think it's more that the original Irish person is himself a victim having been assimilated into a greater vampiric colonial entity, becoming its mouthpiece and mistaking integration for liberation

tbh that aspect of the movie is clunky as it makes it too easy to substitute "collectivist ideology" for the vampiric hivemind, especially in contrast to its glorification of bootstrapping individual heroism
