>be Irish >go to America on holiday >every American

I still dont understand who would be proud to have mick blood in their veins.

My ancestors used to be the rulers of Munster and I'm a direct descendant of Charlemagne

only post itt if you're irish

They do it as a talking point and a mean of relating. I don't see anything particular wrong with it, especially when they come here and spend money or lobby for Irish interests.

One of my family lines had nobles from Roscommon, which I thought was neato
But I don't consider myself Irish American

>>68212869
Usually they're inept or find the culture interesting and attempt to associate themselves with it.
There are people here who pretend to be Scandi and Finnish too

Lack of real culture or identity. Notice how this is mainly white Americans.

>>68212869
> Why do Americans do this?
irish americans are super into their heritage. more so than other white people that live here. it gets to the point where it's a huge a part of their identity.

>>68213109
Yes Irish Americans do have a tendency to have white skin alright.

>Go to Boston and New York
This is expected. Shit tons of Irish immigrants ended up in the Northeast region of the country.
>Anywhere else
Posing to impress foreigners

Being oppressed suddenly became cool. It's why Scots suddenly flipped from WE ANGLO 2 to WE CELT NOW.

I thought it flipped because Anglos are insufferable cunts who insist on calling celts barbaric primitives

>>68213254
That wouldn't make much sense then you absolute tit.

>>68213254
>barbaric primitives
But that's correct?

>>68213197
>start off as "WE WUZ IRISH", flip to "WE ANGLO", flip to "WE WUZ CELTS"
cool

>>68213114
I have to disagree, brosef. Other than St. Patrick's day, there is no longer a serious Irish identity in America. The Irish have been here for so long, they've been naturally mixed in with the rest of white America.

It takes immigrants several generations to be assimilated, but once you get to a generation that knows figuratively 0 people from the "old country", there's no point in pretending there's a sustained connection there.

Sure there's always superficial "Brian Boru was my ancestor" nonsense, but other thank for yuks and drinking holidays, Irish Americans don't consider themselves a separate and unique subset of white America on a serious level.

It's not the 19th century anymore, it's the current year.

Eugh, disgusting

The De Courcey's lost all their land in Ireland in the 1300s.

>>68213895
Region could've been inhabited entirely by De Courcey's, which might be what that is meant

>>68213923
It wasn't.

>>68212869
Muh heritage is the dumbest thing ever, why the fuck should i feel proud of a country my ancestors decided to fuck off from?

>>68212869
2bh ancestry is only relevant when the culture of your ancestry had been organically transported and thrived in your region

otherwise you're just artificially recreating some sort of cultured persona due to a lack of character

the only regions of north america with tangible european culture still existing is some parts of coastal US, very sparse parts of the midwest, and most of Canada east of Ontario

>>68214058
>>68214096

It's more complicated than that though, and a lot of it comes down to how you were raised. Like my grandmother shames me for not being fluent in french.
