You know what they say… Ireland’s greatest export was its people
Jesus, I’m scarlet for their oul wans.
Getting one of those for “St Patty’s Day”

Reminds me of the time in a bar in Boston, me an Irish guy born in Ireland to Irish parents with an Irish passport and Irish surname, was told by an American who has never been to Ireland, and whose great grand parents were Irish, that he was more Irish than me.
Coming to a Boston suburb near you.

This is ‘cringe’, that is what this is
Ugh. Immigrants. /s
Do they realise we do nothing only take the almighty piss out of them I wonder.
You just know this guy is a pub bore that everyone avoids because all he talks about is how much more Irish than everyone else he is…
I’ve met these wankers all my life. They all have one thing in common.
Nobody likes them.
Flag shagging is the worst trait.
We don’t claim … them. Whoever hung that there.
They are yours to keep America.

Say what you want about America, but they never miss an opportunity to embarrass themselves

I’d have no objection whatsoever to someone whose people came from Ireland being Irish. But I wonder, if it was a case of, say, something as harmless as a hurling game, all-American v all-Irish, who would s/he be cheering for. “Patriot by choice” – but what patria is it?
But an idea of how genuine this kind of deep-in-the-blood identification *can* be is in Al Pacino’s autobiography, when he’s talking about going to Sicily for the filming of a scene in The Godfather:
>…Making the film brought me to Sicily for the first time in my life. I wasn’t ready for it. It seemed to me as though it were a gross inconvenience. And then as soon as I arrived, I felt flush with a kind of cosmic energy. Everything came rushing back to me, even things I had never experienced. The paths that led to my being had started here – whatever I was or would become was in some way because of this place. It was eye-opening, consciousness-raising, and totally seminal. As an actor you’re always searching for identity and thins you connect to. When I came back from the trip, I found myself telling everyone I could that they must go and see the places where their families come from, to trace their roots back as far as they can. It’s a way of checking in with reality, a reminder that you existed and continue to exist.
From his description of how he was while there, it’s obvious that he wasn’t the kind of pushy American… he talks about being invited into people’s homes and sitting eating silently, an unknown actor then, “but everywhere I went the locals were curious and so kind to me”. He’s certainly not trying to own the identity, but feeling it deep in his bones.
And this is why it’s important for Ireland to require residence to vote.

1000% sure this exact person would be offended by someone having “Mexican by blood, American by birth”.
