What a fucking weird and racist post. “not even the Irish want to be Irish”
Looks like it’s just trying to be controversial. The Irish are fine, they have nothing to be ashamed of and lots to be proud of. Most of the world either doesn’t know who they are or loves them.
It really is. As an American with some Irish, (if its a white from eastern europe it turned up on our dna test thingy) Im not sure if I or actual Irish people should be more offended.
The Irish have had a very
shittytroubled past, is probably what they’re getting atNah, don’t agree. They established a hierarchy of “good nationalities” to be and put others like Irish and Lithuanian below them.
I didn’t establish a hierarchy of nationalities. It’s like I’m saying it’s bad to be Irish or Lithuanian in a moral sense I’m saying it’s bad from the perspective of a Irish or Lithuanian person. Both Ireland and Lithuania are pretty shit tier countries and are very miserable places to live.
I don’t agree on any of your points. You sound incredibly ignorant.
They didn’t choose to be brutally colonized by the English
They want to be European, but don’t want the stink of colonialism, whilst also feeling like rebels, so Ireland it is!
I bet they also question “why would anyone want to be a woman?”
As a woman and the op I wonder this myself.
Irish and Italians are interesting because they were historically considered ‘colored’ or at least on the same societal rung as colored people.
My wee Irish grandmother would take issue with this. Her pride was more about being Catholic, but she was definitely Irish. Soda bread. Weird Easter pastries. Ya, cabbage and alcohol too. Just little bits and bobs of Irish culture.
… Um … I personally claim that I’m a European mutt. Drunkards all.
There are some great YouTube videos of Irish people having to deal with American tourists who think they’re Irish.
The best is that one ‘follow me, I’m delicious’ Irish guy. He said ‘‘Everyone I know is Irish, so it’s hard for me to get excited about it’’
Eh it depends on who you are and where you’re from. Chicago and Boston have a lot of Irish heritage. Everywhere else it’s mostly just St. Patrick’s Day, aka amateur night. So it’s mostly just an excuse for the lightweights to go get drunk on shitty beer.
Seriously, who gets drunk on Miller or Budweiser? It’s like trying to run a car engine on Kool-aid.
The population of Ireland is around 5.3 million. More than 6 million people have immigrated to the U.S. from there. Factor in kids, grandkids and such… It makes sense that there would be a number of people claiming Irish heritage. Also the number of people who find an Irish accent attractive is non-zero.
Edit: a quick search found 9.4% of the U.S. population is of Irish decent. (Mixed obviously). So more Irish than all Asian decents combined if I read it correctly.
Yup there are more people of irish decent in usa the there are humans in Ireland
Irish by birth. Catholic by choice. Fishtown by the grace of god.
Not me, but an actual shirt you can by in one of phillies more popular neighborhoods. Just wanna let ya know philly has plenty of irish pride, even if its mostly located in a working class now gentrified neighborhood with an American style history of racism and also a history of chart topping drug problems.
It’s fun to make fun of Americans who are proud of their Irish ancestry. I dunno why. But it is.

We err they obsessed because red heada are hot and irish beer os better the American beer
Funny story, my lineage is Irish and Lithuanian. So take that, I guess.
Admitting you have problems is the first step.
My dad’s side of the family was supposedly Irish. Bunch of reprobates and thieves. I would admit to being related to none of them even if they could prove it with papers lol
Nothing against Irish people. Just thought I’d share.
My maternal great-grandfather fled Ireland after the Civil War ended because he was a republican fighter. Does that count?
Because we have a holiday that is more or less Irish Pride Day (St. Patrick’s Day).
If there was a Lithuanian Pride Day, there’d probably be just as many Americans searching their ancestry for a Lithuanian connection.
I think Americans caring about there heritage lives rent free in too many European heads. It doesn’t affect anyone’s day to day, and explains some weird idiosyncrasies in life.
I just love the shade thrown to Ireland, Guatemala and Lithuania. he did not hold back. “Not even the Irish want to be Irish” 😭 Also I think he is American.
Just confirmed.

Don’t worry lithuanians also don’t want to be lithuanians.
Speak for yourself, I’m proud to speak a language barely anyone can learn
What language is it?
Lithuanian
Kalbėjau apie tuos kurie varo į Norge ar Suomija gyvent.
Ar jie nenori būt lietuviais, ar tiesiog varo ten kur “lengvi” pinigai?
Ah, you’re Estonian?
Lithuanian, lol
Was gonna quote trainspotting, but realized it’s scots.
Tommy: Doesn’t it make you proud to be Scottish?
Mark “Rent-boy” Renton: It’s SHITE being Scottish! We’re the lowest of the low. The scum of the fucking Earth! The most wretched, miserable, servile, pathetic trash that was ever shat into civilization. Some hate the English. I don’t. They’re just wankers. We, on the other hand, are COLONIZED by wankers. Can’t even find a decent culture to be colonized BY. We’re ruled by effete arseholes. It’s a SHITE state of affairs to be in, Tommy, and ALL the fresh air in the world won’t make any fucking difference!
Scottish people live in a completely different reality were they were the victims of the British empire and not its biggest beneficiaries.
Your welcome
Your welcome
His welcome, sure, but what about the rest of our welcomes?
It’s toned down since 23andMe was new, but I absolutely know people that will regularly call themselves by whatever European group they think gives them character.
I always ask if they have an EU passport.
Dude i don’t even have a us one
Missed out on one by a couple years through the citizenship by ancestry program:-/
weird idiosyncrasies
Agreed, ChocoboEnthusiast
Don’t listen to them, you can be as enthusiastic about chocobos as you like! ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Please dont bang the chocobo :(
It’d never wark out between us.
I’ve got Irish heritage. My dentist asked me about it because I have a red beard (brown hair). She explained that people with red hair are less responsive to Novocain. I always knew I wasn’t bullshitting that the dentist hurt me as a teen. Finally, proof!
Not only Novocain, but lots of different types of anesthesia. Im a ginger and have woken up in several procedures, even after warning the doctor I probably would.
The band Eels in their song Novocaine for the Soul claims that efficacy of that drug is linked to having a soul and as we all know ginger do not have one.
Guess I’m a day-walker.
Sounds like hell.
I suppose you can’t blame your earlier dentists, though. How were they supposed to know? And if they automatically treated redheads differently, would that be racism?
Isn’t a racism judging someone’s character based on ethnic heritage or physical expression rather than, you know, their character?
Medical predisposition, nah that’s racist!
You ask, because certain physical characteristics are known to be linked more often with certain things than others
It’s not racist to treat patients differently when you’re talking about how likely they are to react to drugs. Children/teens tend to become bewildered and/or violent when waking up from anesthesia. It’s not ageist to prepare for a worse case scenario by calling all hands on deck to hold them down to prevent injury.
It is how ever a dick when dad grounds you because you did that in a haze of post anesthesia that you can’t remember at all and had no control over
Young men come up fighting as well. My ex-wife worked in surgery and got punched a few times. Don’t know what I’d be like now, but as a young men, back the hell up from the bed.
