I Fucking Hate "Irish-American" Wankers and their version of "Irishness"

Seeing this people on TV/video/ even meeting them in pubs & bars etc identifying as "Irish-American" is really starting to piss me off.

I will never understand why someone who wasn't born in Ireland, has likely never even visited Ireland and only has a direct relation from that country, some bloody six or seven generations back BUT insists on identifying to an almost psychotic level with that country, WTF?

When I have visited America and been into Irish bars, I have been in some sticky situations with over-identified Irish-Americans going apeshit, threatening violence for me being British (I am half Irish) and for pointing out their hypocrisies and total lack of understanding of what they want to believe is their culture.

Walking into an "Irish-American" bar is like watching the blackest of black comedies with so-called "Irish" whiskey named "Black and Tan" (no doubt purchased and drunk completely unironically right?) I nearly shit myself when I saw it and the "Irish-American" dickheads drinking "Irish Car Bombs" thinking it's something that flies back in the old country.

Someone seriously needs to make a comedy sketch about "Irish Americans" having drinks to drown their sorrows after the Boston bombing, and ordering "Irish car bombs" when they get to the bar.

I meant naggers of Europe. Fucking spell check on cell phone.

I'm from Liverpool, and of course have Irish ancestry. We are the O'tato Gypsy clan from Belmullet.

Maybe you should mind your own fucking business.

No. Whenever I visit the states I go and wind-up your "Irish-American" tossers for the craic.

Good, then you won't be surprised at the ass whooping you'll receive soon.

Do ya like dags?

Yes, I am failing to understand why OP cares when he isn't even an American citizen.

The thing about the Irish is most of them settled in cities, lived in ghettos, and developed an Irish-American culture distinct from the Irish. Big deal? Why do you care? I'm willing to bet that if I went to Ireland I would find Irish people with ridiculous notions of American culture.

FYI, I'm 1/4 Irish through my maternal grandfather. However, my Irish ancestors worked on the railroads, settled in the South and were adventurous. My Irish great grandfather fought in WWI, worked as a cowboy in Mexico, opened up a cantina on the border and died at the age of 97. Therefore, I was raised with zero Irish cultural influence, but I totally get the desire to romantically hold onto some aspects of your old country.

I'm a Londoner, mentioned it a few times on here, no secret, but I've lived in Ireland for 15 years now. Society here's more relaxed and generally chilled. The UK's like a police state nowadays.

I love your word choice, and I think that sums it up in a nutshell.

Both the Irish and Americans of Irish descent love Ireland. However...
The Irish are married to Ireland, and Irish-Americans are romantically involved with Ireland.

He needs to get checked. Then he will shut his mouth.
