Racists have weaponised legitimate problems to further their agendas. Yes, immigration does have an impact on all the things you've mentioned, but those issues are down to long standing failure by successive governments to adequately address them and have existed long before immigration was a part of the discourse.

It's not racist to have concerns about how immigration will impact a creaking system. It's probably racist and / or ignorance to blame immigration for all of those issues.

How does immigration dilute Irish culture? I've yet to come across anyone making this claim who's doing anything to promote Irish culture in any meaningful way (FLEGS notwithstanding). If the dilution of Irish culture is something you're concerned about, then it should be incumbent on you to do something to preserve and promote it.
