a) Yes, he perpetuated other biases.
b) No, he did not perpetuate other biases.
c) Yes, he promoted other biases.
d) No, he did not promote other biases.

Answer 1

Without additional information on Maguire's actions, it is not possible to accurately determine whether he perpetuated or promoted other biases while combating prejudice against the Irish.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question pertains to whether Maguire, in his efforts to combat prejudice against the Irish, himself perpetuated or promoted other biases. This requires an understanding of the historical context and Maguire's actions. Given the lack of information about Maguire's specific actions or statements in the provided reference, it is not possible to determine without speculation whether he perpetuated or promoted other biases. The reference indicates that while direct discrimination like the 'No Irish Need Apply' employment advertisement existed, it was less common than indirect forms of discrimination against immigrants during the period. We do not have evidence from the provided information to suggest Maguire's role in relation to other biases.
