[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh god, people who are hung up on their Irish ancestry are the most annoying ethnic group in America. A typical conversation with them: Them: “I’m Irish.” Me: “oh, cool. You don’t have an accent. When did you come over?” Them: “I was born here.” Me: “oh. When did your parents emigrate?” Them: “well, actually they were born here, too.” Me: “oh. So, your grandparents came over from Ireland?” Them: “….no.” Me: “ah.”[/quote] The most annoying? There are lots of people who cling fast and hard to their ethnicity and neither speak the language nor have ever visited the country. But it's easy to call the Irish out in a way you would never dare call anyone else out.[/quote] You’re barking up the wrong tree here. I, too, have Irish ancestry. But I would never ever say “I’m Irish.” So no, it’s not some anti-Irish bias. If people of German heritage did this, I’d call them out. But I never hear them do this.[/quote]
