Eh it depends on who you are and where you're from. Chicago and Boston have a lot of Irish heritage. Everywhere else it's mostly just St. Patrick's Day, aka amateur night. So it's mostly just an excuse for the lightweights to go get drunk on shitty beer.

Seriously, who gets drunk on Miller or Budweiser? It's like trying to run a car engine on Kool-aid.

Irish by birth. Catholic by choice. Fishtown by the grace of god.

Not me, but an actual shirt you can by in one of phillies more popular neighborhoods. Just wanna let ya know philly has plenty of irish pride, even if its mostly located in a working class now gentrified neighborhood with an American style history of racism and also a history of chart topping drug problems.

My great grandparents came to the US and claimed to be Irish. We strongly suspect this was a lie and they were German but arrived during a time where Germans were... unpopular.

There are some great YouTube videos of Irish people having to deal with American tourists who think they’re Irish.

The best is that one 'follow me, I'm delicious' Irish guy. He said ''Everyone I know is Irish, so it's hard for me to get excited about it''

It’s fun to make fun of Americans who are proud of their Irish ancestry. I dunno why. But it is.

It's economically stable white people trying to find a way to be the victim.
You don't see actually marginalized white people (poor, disabled, etc) doing this, just suburban Karens and shit

Edit:
All these down votes but no counterarguments.
It's almost like people are mad because not only does this perfectly explain the phenomenon, but we can see tons of examples in American society of the oppressors trying to claim victimhood for repercussions to their actions. The glove fits.

My dad's side of the family was supposedly Irish. Bunch of reprobates and thieves. I would admit to being related to none of them even if they could prove it with papers lol

Nothing against Irish people. Just thought I'd share.

[–] MIDItheKID@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Funny story, my lineage is Irish and Lithuanian. So take that, I guess.

Admitting you have problems is the first step.

Ah, of course.

My maternal great-grandfather fled Ireland after the Civil War ended because he was a republican fighter. Does that count?
