Yeah but if Irish Americans didn't continue to identify as Irish they never would have sent all that money over for the revolution.



That money was only resting in my account.

It’s funny. In one week Ireland has banned all future investment in fossil fuel and were about to ban all imports from Israel.
We passed marriage equality a few years ago and just this year made abortion legal.
It’s almost like we’re working directly against current US policies.

Tell me again how were dependant?

Protecting 'traditions' and 'culture' and declaring that they are under attack have been buzz words used to enact violence on minorities and people that are different than the majority for centuries. Hate, racism, and nationalistic pride are packed within those phrases.


In the context the red team is using it now, i somewhat agree. I dont think they are all racists, but I think a majority of people (not politicians) using those phrases right now are letting fear and prejudice prevent them from understanding that culture is not static. And Trump is certainly leveraging that to all of our detriments.

This is probably fair for many. A big part of anti-Irish sentiment was the idea that Catholicism was incompatible with American culture (LOL), and would harm it. That’s not how the sentiments played out, or how they were expressed over time, but that and the predicted costs to the American labor market were the starting point. A culture and economic fear erupted into stupidity.

Never minding that the president referring to European culture here also uses the word to describe Confederate statues, the culture argument is exactly of the type that comes when you form your opinion first (feels true), and gather information second. It does feel perfectly reasonable, as a possible danger, until you examine actual research into the issue.

We would all be best served in learning our lesson from the Irish immigration story. Stop obsessing over the differences immigrants represent, and start looking for their lucky charms.



The vast majority of the 40 million Irish Americans seem to be the worst kind of republican redneck pig ignorant uneducated racist assholes but that’s more a reflection on what happened to them in your country the past 200 years. It’s not representative of mine at all.


do you keep a dossier on all 40 million of them?



No but there’s fb pages like Irish central which is for ‘irish’ americans And it’s the worst kind of shit ugly nonsense like when the St Patrick day parade rolls around and youll see thousands of them railing against gay people being allowed participate and basically everything else. All very pro trump too. They’re rabid about their Irish ancestry *but have never been here*. And have no understanding at all that the Ireland they have in their heads doesn’t exist outside a postcard. It’s disappointing and alarming. Go have a look at that page. It’s depressing but fairly representative of them and their thinking.


representative of 40 million people?

you a pushing a racist lie right now - and you want to double down based on a parade and some facebook pages?

If you’re born in America you’re American. Your not irish American. This isn’t that hard to grasp.

You can be born in a barn. It doesn’t make you a horse.

I live in and amongst tribalism my whole life and see the damage it does. We’ve mostly grown up past it here. Up north not so much. It’s a destructive mindset in any society. It’s mainly what’s wrong in America and everywhere. The UK in particular right now. H But I want nothing to do with it generally. This guy doesn’t seem to respect or appreciate that.

-*weirdly enough if you’re born here but your grandparents were born before 1922, you’re entitled to apply for a British passport. I mean why would you, but it’s an odd thing. I don’t het what that does for you without switching citizenship
