Full blooded Irish-American here. I've been thinking of returning to the homeland someday before I die. Would I be welcomed there as an Irishman? Any especially important places I should see?

Thanks for the help
>>
>>138055525
First off you're not an "Irishman"

Ya you'd be welcomed without trouble but don't try to claim your Irish for a minute. it will only make them think of you as a typical retard yank who doesn't understand that just because his great granddaddy was Irish it doesn't mean he is.
Also, in the future lose all the percentages. I can't stand when Americans make up "ya I'm like totally 25% Scottish and like 33% Italian"

If you want an authentic travel experience try to meet up with some locals if you know any. Preferably spend most of your time in the country with those locals and pop into cities to do all the cliche tourist activities.

Sincerely
An American living in Dublin with dual citizenship and two Irish parents

Irishman studying in the states here, you'd be very welcome as an American but not as an Irishman I'm afraid. Not because you or those you'd meet would be doing anything wrong but the way of it seems to be that you can't fully participate in the culture properly unless you've grown up in it. Lots of natural interactions picked up when you're young I think, I mean America feels a bit like that to me. I'll stifle the west cork in me as best I can to fit in but little things always end up making you feel like you're hanging on the outskirts a bit.

I'd set your sights higher than the pic there though, fairly low bar for must see places lad.

If you get to cork at all I'd visit seven heads, it's right by my home.

Yes, you would be welcomed there. Please move

Can't see why you wouldn't be welcomed, as for sites to visit, make sure you see Newgrange during the winter solstice if you can, older than both stonehenge and the pyramids.

If you say you are Irish, you will be laughed at and called a plastic paddy.

If you call yourself an american, they will ask if you are here to find your relations (relatives).

Just say you are a tourist and people will respect that.

My grandma and grandpa were born in Belfast, my other Grandma was born in Waterford. I went to Ireland a few years back to visit some family there that I made contact with. Believe me, even with that that...you STILL aren't Irish in their eyes, and don't go around saying you are, trust me. If you were born in the US, and sound like an American...you aren't Irish.

Its not an ethnic thing. Its just American mannerisms are so surreal to us. Even though we consume so much of your media, it doesn't prepare me to hearing those fucking inflected over friendly voices.

I've had quite the experience with culture shock in the states thanks to these demographics. Not sure about the rest of ye but I've very vivid memories of the few times I saw refugees when I was small because it was so alien at the time. Few more about these days but it's nothing like an American city. To be fair I am from the middle of absolute nowhere but six months of uni later and I'm still not quite used to it.

I am currently on vacation embracing my heritage. If you were to cut open my veins whiskey and Guinness would flow freely. I was taught how to fight from an early age and my hatred for the English oppressors will never die.

And before any of you ask, my father was born and raised in Glasgow and served with the IRA in the Falklands, so I don't want any buttblasted Euroshits telling me that I'm not Irish.

God I hate faggots who are born in one particular country or spent a vast majority of their life in a particular country, then grow up and claim their "homeland" or "back home" as some other obscure country just to pad their ego and identity as if they're some kind of mysterious foreigner just staying here temporarily.

You disrespect the country you live in to be constantly talking about other countries as "back home".

If I lived in America I would call myself AMERICAN.

Burger here married to a Bong living just outside Cork. Ignore fleg.

I was brought up Irish American. That's what you are. Here I am a bartender professionally, started a hurling club back in my American hometown and am a referee for the GAA. None of that shit matters. Don't do things cus 'I'm Irish' etc. Do those things cus you like to do them. Or else you'll look like a try hard.

If you're gonna move here marry a local and start a family and your assimilation will begin then. Until then you are a tourist who never left. Good luck

But that's not true at all. Both "Irish" Americans and nigger brown blow ins from the third world are given hassle over calling themselves Irish.

They're not Irish either. It's about culture and genetics. The American-"Irish" lack the culture while the Nigger-"Irish" lack the genetics and a lot of the culture.

Also what is this meme about Ireland being so overrun with nigs and such. They have top 3 whitest populations in Europe and the highest fertility rate. And as Americans we can't really talk down to them when it comes to this topic anyway.

Have you seen any American inner city at all. I was in Manhattan for the first time in years the other day and I was horrified.

ok so you have 4 states that are over 90% white, but none of them are as white as ireland.
>>
>>138062431

No but you should stop pretending you are Irish, German, Italian or whatever when you have been properly mongrelised, at that stage you are just American. Nothing more.

It's like the Irish-Italian community here in Ireland can call themselves that because generally they breed within their own community and still retain Italian culture. Many "Irish" Americans don't do that at all beyond thinking that eating bacon and cabbage every weekend makes them Irish.
