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

This is ironically a function of your own lack of cultural awareness. You don't live here and yet you think you understand us better than we do...which is kind of worse than over identifying with ones genetic past.

Americans of Irish ancestry indeed do have distinct cultural and social behavior just as Italians still do; and of course Asian, Hispanic and many other smaller groups of immigrants.

The reason is because Irish were one of the last to show up...after the Brits starved them out of their own country.

I come from a very big Irish family and so does my boyfriend. I grew up on a street of almost exclusively Irish families that lived there since the 1800's. Not one single time in my life have I ever heard a family member talk about Ireland as if they know what its like to live in Ireland.

It's about being "Irish" more than being "from Ireland." K?

We have our own problems to sort out because of the late 19th century traumas, slavery, indentured servitude and robber barons. Remember "Irish need not apply?" That wasn't so long ago and that attitude still persists in some areas.

Since you were not born in America, you are clueless about the psychology of living in a country that was manifested out of thin air and full of nothing but self aware immigrants.

We have zero connection to our ancestry as Britain, Ireland and Scotland do. So, excuse us if we try to hold on to some kind of genetic memory or connection to the past in any way we can.

I have 4 great grandparents from Ireland. I have the photos of their stern Irish faces. You are an ignorant cunt to think that only three generations out, all of that Irish social behavior and tradition would just wash out.

Furthermore, all cultures change over time whether they are mobile or not. Language , clothing, food, etc. all evolve. That is all you are witnessing. What you see here in America IS an evolution from our Irish ancestors. However, time and location do alter traditions or trends. Even trends and traditions are different in Ireland than they were 100 years ago.

To sum up, you are a complete fucking moron who attempted to come off as savvy and bolster yourself by attacking citizens of another country; and you failed miserably.

He's a French Canadian, he hates everyone.French people hate French Canadians (mostly.) Kind of how that shit works, I guess.

Didn't know that was the stereotype :) The French love us now :)))

Usually southerners only call someone a 'Yankee' if they are acting like an asshole, or like some kind of better-than-thou smug snob.

Same for blacks calling whites crackers, in normal settings.

I never hear Irish-americans drone on about the English either, and I've been around a ton of them. A lot of Irish in Boston, and New York aren't particularly fond of the English. but most Irish-americans in general have no beef with them.

So if you are in one of their pubs in certain areas you might have gotten less than friendly behavior. It has nothing to do with Irish soil. It has to with a lot of them coming here in more recent history to those already irish areas, and bringing a grudge with them against the English for their shitty treatment of them. Their grandfathers told first hand accounts of the English to their sons and grnadaons, and daughters.

There is a long history of abuse there, and for certain Irish in those areas, they are recent history as well.

So don't act like that is out of the blue, or even normal amongst most Irish Americans. It's not.

In all honesty, it sounds like either this is all made up, or you had problems everywhere you went because you acted like an ass. A LOT of Brits come to the US and even live here, and yet you had these issues everywhere you went?

I'm torn between you being a complete and utter asshole or this being

Wanna see fuukked.... goto Nova Scotia, Irish mixed with French.

Tell us more :))

lol, that brings back memories. My living room window was blown the fuck out...Still no deaths and thats all that matters.

The Armdale centre was hated anyways.

Really? OMG!

and then there's NewFoundLand

Drunk, unemployed, peso's

86% Irish ancestery.

Still a pale third behind the Scots and Brits tho...

There was hope... until we found out Collin Farrell threw the taters into Angelina carp-lips Jolie.

I've never been to Canada but I've cousins there. The Brits are alright. It's like everywhere, some good, some bad.

Yeah.... Brits are allright

Your post reminded me of this. I posted it when i came to glp first and was called anti American for it

I agree. Both my parents were Irish, and I'm entitled to an Irish passport, but I was born in England and grew up here. I look Irish, but I would consider it presumptuous, and insulting to the people who really live there, to claim 'I am' Irish.

Yet in America, you hear people saying, 'Oh, I'm Irish.' If you ask them what part of Ireland they're from, it turns out they just had one great grandparent originally from there! Lol!

FUK.... that was good.

Gleeson et al...


Damn I gotta go watch Garda

That's hilarious :)))

:giggle:

Farrell, Neeson, Fassbender... they're all good.

But Gleeson.... above and beyond.

His son has been in a few good films too.

heard Don Cheadle is half-Irish

Right there with you OP.

:hestonlaugh:

On his mother's side :)))

Hinds and Rea another solid pair

We're all fabulous :)))

Most of my heritage is Scottish and Irish. They came over around 1800 something. I'm proud of my heritage. It sounds like your more annoyed by stereotypes. Who isn't? Sometimes though, stereotypes are funny. No one has a sense of humor.

Part of my spiritual path believes in honoring our ancestors and etc who are with us even if we move to bum phuck mars.

I can appreciate to some degree the identification with ones ancestral roots!

But I for one wish mostly to identify with the creator who produced the better qualities found in all of us...regardless of race!

Got to wonder why OP has such a problem with the descendents of immigrant Irish celebrating their heritage in Diaspora...Is it jealousy because he is not really Irish? Nagging guilt over the tyranny of his Orangemen forebears over indigenous Irish? Frustration over the fact that the Irish were not wiped out, but multiplied and flourished in America? Generational anti-Catholic sentiment? Lack of sobriety and a meaningful existence? What is the problem?
