And she’s such a hot tourist too. God, I love American women.
Nah, I’m nowhere near as attractive as that lad
Her kids can be at least half Irish if the lad gets some
I don’t get it
Is that Kenny Omega
Have met the inverse of this. The Irish telling me where all their family live in the states. Not irritating until you find out they all live in Florida. And we’ll, if you don’t know about Florida yet, I’m sorry.
Well I am 8/16ths Irish, seen Celtic women live, and I am bad at fractions.
Who don’t pronounce their last names correctly.
As an American who is 1/16th Irish, I’m a little offended by this. I would instantly rally if a call to arms was made to throw the English out of Ireland! I’m also 3/16 English, so I’m naturally devastated by the Queens death. And my 4/16 German heritage sees this as a natural opportunity to resume the Blitz against London. My 2/16 Scottish side is torn on who to root for, while the Welsh in my DNA (1/16) always found the queen’s corgis to be beautiful, almost sexual. The remaining 5/16 of me is unknown, but it wants to smoke a joint and get a cheese burger, so possibly Jamaican??? But, I’m very white, so also possibly Canadian. The point is that we should keep having sex until we are all the same color!
I mean it is kinda flattering sometimes
What about if you’re half irish? Can it be more like before Roy learned about the Sea Parks fire? Asking for a friend….
1/8 Irish, 1/4 Canadian, 1/4 Scottish the rest is English/French/Swiss and drunk
Perfection and what’s even more hilarious is that not a single American will get the reference of that picture!
IDK I think i have that look and the fst head to prove it
What about 50%?
When I visited Ireland, everyone was awesome and super nice. On Reddit though, people just complain about Americans talking about their heritage.
But what if our ancestry tests say 93% Irish? (Im Canadian 🤣)
No clue what my actual percentage is, but my great grandparents on my moms side are from Ireland and and my dad’s family immigrated from Ireland. The only survivor was too young to know his last name and it wasn’t documented on the boat they took so they gave us the last name Ireland due to that being where they came from.
Is it okay to say ‘my grandfather’s family comes from this part of ireland, and that’s why I’m interested in this particular town’, without giving the impression that it somehow makes you from ireland?
A fire??! At the sea parks?!!
My mother is an Irish immigrant, and I have uncles and first cousins all over Ireland, especially Dublin. I’m still self conscious about being a plastic paddy, just because I know some of my fellow Irish-Americans, in my own family, who are just as Irish as me, and they can be really crazy about it. Like, they have Irish flags all over the place and act like weird family tribal legends some tourist trap made up mean something, and then they say weird things, like the Irish were enslaved, just like black people (sorry, we weren’t… we had other problems, but that wasn’t one of them). All of them are also hyper-Catholic, which isn’t very Irish nowadays, but I guess they are romanticizing Ireland from 1950 or something?
Don’t get me wrong, I’m perfectly happy to be Irish-American, but I’m not trying to be like those hyper-nationalistic weirdos, LOL. IDK if it’s even nationalism when they do it, because it’s not really their country. Most of them can’t name a single politician in Ireland. Even if we have Irish passports, we’re still American. Like, we aren’t scared of guns like our Irish cousins are (did you know most Irish people never even shot anybody? It’s true! I don’t know how they have any fun without guns, LOL)
But yeah, I never want to be a weirdo like my hyper-Irish relatives, so I just don’t talk about being Irish very much, especially around Irish people. I figure they hear that crap from the weirdos all the time, so they don’t need to hear it from me.
What fraction do you allow?
I feel like It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia Ireland saga sums up the American Irish mentality perfectly
Blow in’s, blow outs and blow hards?
I love how this post got all the American lurkers of this sub out of the shadows. Who knew so many of them are hiding here?
I don’t actually care, its this connection that has benefitted ireland quite a bit. I’ll admit some of the Irish american stuff is fairly cringe, but its not bad. I’m happy to see Irish culture being celebrated in the USA and wider world
I’m part Irish, ancestors wise. Lots of us are in Tassie because we were England’s prison.
Rather be of Irish descent then English.
Sadly it’s 40% English- 30% Irish.
If I have to be English, I’m glad to be a rejected one.
Thanks for sending us to the sunshine, twats.
The thing about being Irish is something that Americans don’t understand is that irishness is not genetic, it comes the land itself. Our oldest stories are about the various migrations of people to this land and its not their genes that made them Irish it was the land itself. That’s why someone with Nigerian roots who was raised in Ireland is Irish but an American with Irish roots who was raised in America is not.
Which movie?
My Dad is from Ireland, My Mom is from Mexico. And then there’s me….their American Bastard.
I’m an Irish-American living in Ireland and i’ve been absolutely embraced by the vast majority of people here IRL, even after being reluctant to bring up my heritage for fear of being “one of *those* Americans”. People ask me all the time and get excited when I tell them I have Irish roots.
I think you guys on here are swept up in reddit-tier anti-American political fervor and just get off on looking down on Americans for whatever reason you can find tbh. Haha we’re fat and oblivious dumb yank blah blah blah. Tiring stuff.
If it wasn’t for St. Patrick’s day, Scotland would have the same meme.
Always wondered why this is mainly an American thing? Am Australian and there’s a fuck ton of people here with Irish heritage, but I don’t ever hear people go on about it.
