  1. So if Ireland went to War with America, all these Irish Americans are interned in prison camps 🙃

  2. People that are gatekeepers of being Irish should fuck off to England. You are annoyed about people from thousands of miles away being proud to have connections to this place?? Educate and assimilate. Hateful cunts.

  3. That is how I feel about British people who live in Ireland and have done for generations.

    I mean you might be from Donagahdee, which is technically a part of the UK. Though your accent tells me you’re from Ireland.

    Ye can usually tell British people by their accent. Just like Americans. Most British identifying Irish people living in the North would have a while back to go than their last ancestor from Britain. This American she’s referencing is half Irish so one of their parents at least was born here.

  5. By the American logic I’m a ww2 vet then because my Granda served lmao, it’s fine to be proud of your lineage but you can’t claim to be truely Irish when you’ve no real sense of the culture or experiences of real Irish people just the appropriated crap they have over there

  6. I was thinking recently about some of our plastic Paddys; I assume some of the reason they hold on to their Irish-ness so much may be because it was drilled into them so much. Especially families who were forced or felt they had no choice to leave Ireland in order to survive. Many of those on the boats to the US or those sent off in prison ships would have done so unwillingly. I would guess it was those Irish that always taught their children they were Irish and the cycle continued for a couple of generations… the potato blight wasn’t all that long ago. Just a thought I had on where it came from and why the Irish-ness is so strong among them

  7. Was gonna start a couple of quotes for you there. What makes you truly Irish? Have you a real sense of the real Irish culture and experience? And if you do please let us know what it is that you think constitutes. You would be the same one no doubt to fly the banner for the AOH or your dad.

  10. Honestly think it’s wild how people in Ireland and Scotland get pissy when yanks identify as Irish or Scottish. They’re not saying they’re literally Irish or Scottish, but people conflate them talking about their ethnic background with nationality.

  11. I hate the Americans with this, they act like history isn’t ancient and act like they are related to William Wallace and clans of Scotland to top it off I have witnessed yank tourists act shocked when local pubs in town dont accept us dollars

  12. The funny thing is what she said in the original video was true about Irish culture. Which a typical American wouldnt get. So her point was still valid.

    The hate she got on tiktok was completely uncalled for. I couldnt give a fuck if an American with irish roots wants to call themselves Irish. Shes proud of her ancestral roots and not hurting anyone by it. We shouldnt ostracize them for that

  13. To all our American friends please don’t be disheartened by this first year political student wannabe. We love you

  14. I don’t know how someone can get so irate over this. Irish-Americans should be made to feel proud of their ancestry. They know they aren’t literally Irish

  15. I know a guy born and lived in England his whole life. His mum moved from Ireland to England as a 5 year old so he got a passport through her. Calls himself Irish. Always making jokes and comments to me with his weird ideas of what we do, say and how we live and gets very annoyed when I don’t know what he’s talking about.

  16. I honestly don’t get why someone would get so irate about someone saying their Irish.

    What’s so god awful horrible about someone claiming to be Irish?

    Whenever someone claims their Irishness to me, especially when I’m outside Ireland, I really enjoy and appreciate their connection to the identity I hold so close.

    I really don’t understand where this type of energy comes from?

  18. Canadians are it it too. My missus is Canadian and her best friend always says she’s Italian, gave her a by ball cause I thought her ma was born in Italy. Wasn’t till I met her mum and grandparents that I found out her mum and dad (who passed away)were born in Canada. Dads parents born in Portugal. Her other grandfather was born in Belgium and his wife born in Italy. So a pack of pasta in the supermarket is more Italian than her.

  19. I live in America now and the amount of people who’ve come up to me told me they are Irish too even though they were born here is crazy. Some of them take it really seriously too

  20. Funny the same people have no problem with people who’s ancestry dates further back to Britain considering themselves british to Irish Americans ancestry to ireland. I think the bitterness comes from so much pride in the Irish diaspora where well you know

  21. The Scottish people are certainly some of the best people.

  22. I’ve travelled across American a few times and the affinity that Americans have with Scottish and Irish is crazy. The energy change when you talk and tell them you’re Scottish is crazy, some get really excited.
