[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

You’re an idiot. There is a difference between Irish ethnicity and nationality. I suppose you only consider Kurds as either Turks or Iraqis. The US is full of different from different ethnicities. Do you deny descendants of American slaves claims to Africa? How about Poles who retained their Polish identity when the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth was wiped off the map of Europe for 125 years?

These annoying people don’t claim to be “of Irish descent.” They claim to be Irish. If you don’t have a passport proving same, GTFO. I don’t know any other group that does this so emphatically. And why? It’s a tiny island with bad food and bad weather. [/quote]

Not PP, but it’s not a “tiny island”. Have you ever been to a tiny island?[/quote]

It is not a big country.[/quote]

The question is whether it’s a tiny island or not. It is not.[/quote]

It’s all relative.[/quote]
