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.

Sounds awful. Why not try an actual Irish dish like bacon and cabbage?

Yup really funny, civilians getting bombed while doing the morning shopping with their kids, go to hell terrorist scumbag

STFU cunt. Payback for all the murder you did to us.

Fucking bastard, you can't begin to know how much I hate you

Don't mind him. Bitches be trippin.

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 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!

You are right. Most Irish-Americans have never even been to Ireland. If they had they would know that it's an achingly dull, little,old place where there is nothing more to do than go to a bar, look at green plants, eat crap food and endure the company of tourist-jaded, rather unfriendly, liberal-leaning Irish people who don't seem to know that their country is a back-water.

Where have you been here?

Of course, I have. Doesn't it sound like it?

Where have you been here?

"Where have you been here?" Right, miss read.

All around it. Like most tourists. Doesn't take long.

It must seem tiny in every perspective to you :)))

It's a great little country. Sorry you left with that impression :))) Next time you come here, give me a bell and I'll show you round!
