True, nobody today think of the Irish or Dutch as criminals and gangster.
In 17th century in Norway, some Dutch immigrants formed gangs to fight Scottish and German immigrants for a better position at the docks in Bergen, they also sat fire to warehouses and did acts of vandalization.
Preached by a German priest in Bergen:
”Rotten, Skotten, Hollender und Zegen verderben`s allerwegen; da die seyn, kan nichts gedeien.”
Also poor Swedish immigrants were accused of being behind most of the crime in the captital Oslo during the 19th century.(accusing a foreign immigrant populations of being the root of all societies ills is nothing new.)
