[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’d say if you are ticked off by events in a country other than the U.S. (often much more than by domestic events) you haven’t assimilated.

So that applies to Irish Americans, too, right?[/quote]

Of course! Luckily, not much going on in Ireland![/quote]

I have some relatives, all American born, who were heavily invested in what was going on in Ireland during the Troubles. Does that mean they weren't assimilated, even 5 generations in from our immigrant ancestors?

P.S. did you see what happened in Dublin yesterday?[/quote]

I don’t know enough about your relatives and their views to judge. I would say most Irish are assimilated (and they aren’t very different to begin with) but in theory who knows.

Yes I did see what happened in Ireland. It shows that we need to differ between newcomers from different cultures.

What do you mean the Irish "aren't very different to begin with" - different from what, from whom? From each other?

At any rate, given how many Irish Americans were quite ticked off about events that happened in Ireland, which seems to be one of your main criteria for whether someone has assimilated or not, by your definition they are not assimilated.

What happened in Ireland just now shows we need to keep an eye on right wing thugs.[/quote]
