Where were you born?

I'm direct British (England to be exact) descent on my father's side. (Actually documented)

My mother claims her side of the family descends from about 5 different countries but there's no documentation on that side so I don't flaunt it.

Tyrion answer me..

Where are you born?

US

Have you ever travelled to Ireland?

No.

I'm talking about Irish American in terms of, genetics, it would be ,I guess. Not socially or culturally.

You are American... 100% American!!!!

Genetics is genetics.. You aren't one of us...

Don't claim to be us.

You can say your Father/Mother is Irish

But you aren't Genetics don't make you your brain/heart does.

I'm Polish-English-Scandinavian according to Recent Ethnic roots, but my ancient ethnic roots would be Greek/Latin or possible Persian.

Platinum. You're 16. As you get older, you'll realize how ridiculous saying that to an American is.

How about explaining it to me now? :)

These are facts.

You were born In America.

You don't have any knowledge about our sports or history.

You never was in this country.

Your only source is your parents.

Your parent is Irish.

You are not!

Unless you were brought to this country and have a decent understanding of our history/culture.. I will never accept you as Irish. You're American.

Guess Americans want to be us now... ffs..

Except for, in American, a lot of people find the countries they came from an important thing to know...
I once had a friend who could name the dozen or so countries she had "descended from" in order from memory.

Regardless of their knowledge of the country.

"Descending from" Is completely different to claiming to be "Irish-American"

You descend from Ireland.

You aren't Irish.

I can see where your coming from but you have descended..

Saying I'm Irish - American is wrong.. As lets be honest you don't have a clue what Ireland is or about..

Sayign I've descended from Ireland.. Is totally cool with me...

If you acknowledge this I won't have any hard feelings against you..

Well:
I know Dublin's the capital of Ireland. Catholicism was up until recently a huge deal there. There the 19 the ( I believe) nation to legalize homosexuality. Potatoes, which were originally imported from Argentina, are important there. In the 1840s-1860s, a potatoes famine struck, forcing many Irish to flee to America...

I could go in, but I'm lazy.

You know the history.

Now the culture...

Basic questions... Don't google or your a lie to yourself.

What Gaelic football teams were playing today? In The All-Ireland Semi-final?

is it wrong that i consider all frat boys rapists now? if not rapists then enablers and apologists...

How many people died in the last football riot?

No offence... But I don't even follow AMERICAN sports.

Asking me about Irish sports to me is insane.

I guess.... You are right.


Do you have any traditional Irish customs?

I don't know like the gaelic cross...

or Just Irish things?

Is Irish made a thing of your life?

No.

But I never claimed to be culturally Irish.
