In contrast to Irish immigrants, German immigrants to the United States:

A) Were not as likely to be subjected to negative stereotyping
B) Were all of the Protestant faith
C) Found it very difficult to find employment
D) Usually stayed for a few years and then returned home

German immigrants were generally not subjected to the same negative stereotyping as Irish immigrants. This was partly due to the fact that many German immigrants were skilled craftsmen and professionals, and also because they were more likely to adhere to mainstream Protestant faiths rather than Catholicism. German immigrants also tended to settle in urban areas and established distinct cultural enclaves, which helped to prevent assimilation and maintain their cultural identity.
