...In other news, there's an Irish Anti-Defamation Federation

Yeah, but all they do really is drink, slap people and tell them to feckoff.

Well, that's typical. Everything is so PC these days. In my day we called them what they were, worthless drunken micks who should have never been allowed over here with their wifebeating, pope-worshipping ways. Put 'em in the Paddy wagon where they belong I say.

I remember a time when America was for the English!

If those silly Micks pulled that crap here in Savannah, the drunks at the local Hibernian Society would probably kick their asses back to Tipperary.

Just try taking our drunkenness and debauchery away, I dares ya!


/drunkenness and debauchery = big business around these parts.

Whiskey, music, and redheads?

The Scots make better whisky, the music is only liked by aforementioned white people who travel to Ireland to find their "roots" and most Irish redheads are fat.

Yeah, who the hell's ever heard of the Pogues?

Get outta bed... Ya drunk and lazy bastard

They thought it'd piss us off, but we laughed. Shame others can't do the same

I find it funny how bad Irish-Americans wish they were a minority.

I have been to the St. Patty's Day parade in Hoboken at least twice. And both times was awful.

I refuse to go now although I get an invite from some Hobokener or another every year. I don't understand the appeal at all. It is five times worse than NYC St. Pattys Day, Cinco de Mayo, and a bad fraternity party combined.

/after work drinks on Cinco de Mayo is my personal fave

Irish Anti_Defamation Federation (IADF), is an anagram for DIAF.


Yeah. Deal with that shiat.

Teknowaffle: White people who may have had an ancestor that came from Ireland have a huge persecution complex. Because what else do we have going for us?

Well, me boyo, even into the 60's there were signs places stating " Irish need not apply". That could be why we have a persecution complex; or it could be that the English have only recently stopped their 1000 year effort to exterminate the Irish. You know, either or.

We got a lot going for us; we're tough as hell, we drink like fish and we fight like lions. We may be the descendents of drunks and horse thieves; but we're damn proud of it.

/ Erin go bragh

Eternal Virgin: I find it funny how bad Irish-Americans wish they were a minority.

That's so gawddamn true. I have a friend who just named her child a VERY Irish name that she says displays this child's "Irish roots".

Never mind the fact that child isn't even a quarter Irish (with the rest being Welsh, English, Italian), and is 3rd or 4th generation American.

What's the difference between an Irish wedding and an Irish wake?


One fewer drunken Irishman.

Splitters!

Truth! If it's nae Scottish, it's crrrrrrap!

Not to mention that Scotland is the birthplace of Angus Young, Macolm Young, and the late/great Bon Scott.

There was a time when it wasn't so great to be Irish in America. Sure, many ethnicities had it worse, but it was still fairly bad.

The Irish were actually not considered white back in the 1800's. They were usually depicted as red for their binge drinking and anger.

...or My Bloody Valentine.

Honest question, no snark intended:

Why do a lot of Americans self-identify with whatever country their ancestors came from? (or pick one ancestor to identify with) I spoke to a guy in Phoenix who told me he was Scottish - in as much as one of his great-grandfathers came from Scotland. How many generations is the gap before someone self-identifies as American?
