Why do all Americans claim to have a little bit of Irish in them.
Lol, over the years ive spoken and dealt with thousands of people in the US, and all i ever come across are people who's for some reason or another Irish or have some distant reletive who is.
Many times they have no association to Ireland at all.
So.. what is it with you guys? Whats so great about Ireland? In the UK we hate them.

There probably are a lot of US citizens with Irish blood. Hell, my grandfather was half Irish and I am black! My aunt and uncle have red hair and extremely tanned looking skin. When I stay in the sun for a long time my hair gets red as well...

You're right Messy. Most people think its' cool to be irish because of their heavy drinking and overall friendliness. Entertainment/movies/music make it look cool also. Let's also throw in Leprechauns, the cool accent they have, and overall beauty of the land. Who the fuk doesn't want to be irish!, lol.
I've been to Ireland and I must say it's one of my favorite places in the world even though my family is more from Scotland. I have a Mc as a last name and people think i'm fukin Irish when they hear it, but it's Scottish.
Fuk me i'm Irish

at any rate most people in the states are mixed, esp. if you come from an older family. myself, i don't have any irish ancestors, but a lot of people are part irish. i'm glad i don't though because it's not as prestigous to come from a catholic country originally. america was almost all protestant at it's peak, and it's been downhill ever since they started letting anyone in, from no matter how crap a country they came from.
big ups to ireland though, as they're no longer a crap country and are now doing really well despite the handicap of red hair.
