On the other hand, there's the film version of ''ComicBook/TheField'', in which an American returns to Ireland to buy the eponymous field. The man renting the field, which he has turned from a barren patch of dirt to a lush expanse of green, sees the American as a traitor who abandoned the country when times got tough, and has now returned to pave over everything the faithful Irish have worked to rebuild. This is the stereotype of the "plastic Paddy", common in both Ireland and Britain, of people whose connection to Ireland may be three or more generations in the past and who only claim to be Irish when it's convenient. The "plastic Paddy" stereotype has especially negative connotations in Britain and UsefulNotes/NorthernIreland, where it's often associated with groups like NORAID accused of allegedly supporting the PIRA with arms and money during UsefulNotes/TheTroubles.

Anti-Irish racism took on many forms, appearing as heresay, printwork, political cartoons, and even legislation, such as with legislation implemented by the Know-Nothing Party, an American political organization who had their sights on persecuting the Irish through government-instituted law. The most notable example of anti-Irish legislation was the Alien and Sedition Acts, which banned immigrants from countries that the United States was at war with; this included provisions towards limiting the influx of Irish immigration.
