@Teri_Kanefield@mastodon.social I don't know if this was a factor in anti-Irish sentiment in America, but in Northern Ireland the Protestant majority has long entertained a theory that Catholics are intent on out-breeding the Protestants, and that Catholic prohibition of birth control is part of that. https://www.irishtimes.com/opinion/claim-that-protestants-are-being-outbred-is-a-myth-1.83911

@Teri_Kanefield@mastodon.social Meanwhile in India, Hindu nationalists belive that Muslims are intent on doing the same. https://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2022/may/30/the-truth-behind-indian-extremists-anti-muslim-great-replacement-theory It seems that the Great Replacement is a standard conspiracy theory which crops up as part of any ethno-nationalist program, regardless of the facts.
