A hilariously innocent reminder of why ethno-nationalism is very silly.
Yeah, I’m not even going to bother with the pile-on of this too easy target.
le tricolore, close enough…
I know it’s irrelevant and pedantic but the spelling of “a part of” as “apart of” irks me no end.
It truly is me being a nugget but when I see these sorts of people do it – or their usual “I’m of Irish decent” – I want to point it out. Like here, they’re effectively correctly suggesting that Ireland is distant from their culture.
It’s an interesting question that’s raised-are you no longer ethnically ‘irish’ if you are 76% Irish vs 6%? In Canada, you are legally considered First Nations if you are 90% *and* if you are 10%.
There’s really nothing wrong with identifying with the culture of a regional settler population of a diaspora. Irish American culture has a specific flavour. Being Irish American is less about DNA and more about shared experiences and culture.
It’s a culture of shared trauma, origins, traditions, memory, oppression and “otherness”. Then that culture ages and as the genetic pool mixes with other immigrants in North America, the culture remains, but the ethnicity origins changes. In this regard, you could be raised in an Irish American region, and feel very Irish (American)-yet you might not even be of Irish descent.
They can have him. I won’t argue over it.
