I appreciate the heritage lesson there from Dustin Tyler Ramirez Hernandez Erlendunkelmeyer-O’Shaugnessey III AKA “Trey.” Didn’t know we were applying the 1/16th Cherokee rules to the rest of your fraction list pal.

The top comment from that Englishman is very enlightening about the mindset of these Irish Americans and when their cultural clock is set to.

Of course they’re more Irish. Haven’t you heard they’re folk legends of Choo-culaine and the Phillycheese Steak of Knowledge?

More Irish than the Irish … wait, think we heard that before

Surprised so far there hasn’t been anyone on this post criticizing people for not being 100% supportive of this deranged thinking

There you have it boys.
How’s it feel to be less Irish than my buddies whose great grandmothers aunt was half Irish?

When you come from a town where American tourism is the lifeblood of the local economy, you learn from such a young age to lap this shit up hah

I’ve seen Americans say this before and I really feel like all they’re basing this on is that they’re still religious and conservative and hate gay people but Ireland is woke now. So they’re the “real” Irish

Kinda like the Normans who came over back in the day. They found the craic and there was no goin back!

They will have to take this one up with the Normans!

This is just ragebait. I’ve never met any American who says things like this
This isn’t the first time I’ve heard that and I’ve yet to hear any rationale for why they think that

I’ve not lived in Ireland for 20 years and pay silly pounds for my Guinness in London, so I must be more Irish than all of you!

I always feel like these types of posts are other countries trying to cause shite, disinformation propaganda and all the destabilizing loveliness. Maybe I’m a bit paranoid of things on the Internet, because any normal people I’ve ever met in real life don’t give a shite about what Irish Americans think or vice versa. We love tourists and if ye want ta be Irish or more even, no bother

Nothing worse than listening to ” iRiSh aMeRiCaNs” waffle on about how great Catholicism is when it’s a load of absolute wank and most Irish don’t even practice it. Cringe inducing.

My uncle moved to the states in 1984 but votes for trump because he’ll deal with those immigrants… He’s a stupid cunt

I’ve always found it funny how most Australians and New Zealanders often have far more legitimate and recent ties to Ireland (seriously, we all know someone with family out in the Antipodes), but don’t pay their heritage the slightest heed, while Americans make their entire personality revolve around being X% Irish. It’s the most perplexing thing

I’m English, but have both passports thanks to me nan. I love it when Irish Americans act high and mighty with me for being English and then I prove I’m “more” Irish than they are
I don’t even see myself as Irish, obviously I have a connection to the country, love the country, spent months over there every summer growing up, have many Irish family members and I love spending time over there.
But I’m not Irish, I wasn’t raised in the culture, I didn’t grow up experiencing the Irish way of life nor do I flaunt the fact I have a passport besides when going on holiday and laughing at me mates queueing up as I skip by them. They can’t understand this because they latch onto anything they can to make them feel apart of something else. It’s a really strange mindset to have

I once played an online game with a yank who went by the user name “Marbh Dorchadas”. Obviously trying to say “Black Death” in Irish (let’s not get into the backwards syntax; that’s a whole other thing).
Seeing his name written down, I pronounced it as any Irish-speaker would: “MORRiv DURRakhuddus”.
He corrected me: “Nooo, it’s MARB-hah Door-ShaDAZZ”.
I started to explain back, but he insisted that this was Irish, the language of his people, and I was pronouncing it wrong. Wrong. Wrong!!!
Fair enough; let him pronounce his user-name the way he likes. So, as the better man, I let Mr Door-ShaDAZZ continue living in the delusion of his Irish-American identity crisis.

Ugh when I was travelling across the country with a bus load of Americans it got really tiring having Americans tell me they were more Irish than me because I’m from Belfast 🥲🙃
I did meet some nice Americans too but when the tourist that made this comment to me it just hurt my feelings and felt offensive

Look I don’t care if they say they’re Irish. Having cultural heritage that goes back further than a couple of hundred years is great and no one should be denied that, even if it’s by way of immigration from the other side of the world.
