Much kudos to the girl who said she couldn't really comment accurately as she'd never been. As an Irish person who has visited the US a lot, I laugh when I think back to my thoughts the night before I left on my first visit. I had bought a Berlitz travel guide to NYC and started to read it when I should have been packing. From thinking, 'Why am I going here tomorrow, I don't even like American's' before I read it, I graduated to 'Wow, this seems like an amazingly cool city, I can't wait to get there' after. I spent 3 months in the NY/NJ area hosted by the best relatives I could have wished for and with a student working visa that allowed me to work in NYC. I left with a much clearer understanding of the people and an abiding affection which has drawn me back over a dozen times over forty odd years.

While it doesn’t seem to be most Irish, and Ireland actually honors a right of return, I can’t help but wonder where the one girl thinks we came from. Last I checked (a few years back, but I doubt much has changed) it’s the second largest ancestry in the US. We may not have been born in the country, and that’s a fair point, but while we may not be Irish citizens, since Ireland has a right of return, many of us could be tomorrow.

[@laraclarke3078]

I get what your saying…in many cases, it seems like many Irish want to distance themselves from Americans. That’s the impression I get…like they do not want to be associated in any way shape or form. But at the same time, I also hear so many Irish talk about how they have built a “empire” through other countries with the diaspora of Irish descended immigrants, so I don’t quite understand how it can be both. That girls opinion on not wanting to accept Americans as Irish is echoed quite frequently here in Ireland, I have heard many people state something similar. Editing this to say: the one aspect in which I think they may feel this way is due to the culture. Irish culture is quite unique in many ways to that of American culture, and so that may be a reason.

[@eirekelleher8366]

There's way more to being Irish then you ancestry, I consider somebody Irish if they grew up here , I have cousins over in america very long distance they call themselves Irish and how some day they want to come home , this is not there home they are Americans it pisses a lot of us off 😂 they couldn't be more different to us they're polar opposites, so ya it does piss a lot of Irish off when people who aren't Irish say they want to come "home" and call themselves Irish because they do not represent what we are like 😂 yeah a lot of Irish these days don't have much time for Americans because of the reason above and the crazy stuff going on out there I think a lot of Irish just find some of them ignorant and sometimes stupid

[@LittleMissPyeWacket]

About the Americans thinking their Irish, even president Biden has claimed the same, giving it the old 'im of Irish decent' . Yet when I checked, it was from only one side of his family 3 generations before him. Given the guys nearly 80 that's a long time ago in history to claim Irish blood. He also completely ignores his linage on his fathers side which was English and something else, can't recall. You can't cherry pick who your ancestors are.

[@seandoherty925]

Biden's Wikipedia entry says his great -great-great grandfather was born I Sussex, England before emigrating to the US as a young man. He also has French ancestry. 10 out of 16 of his great-great grandparents were Irish however. So I think Joe's claim to be Irish (American) is pretty solid.

[@LittleMissPyeWacket]

@@seandoherty925 I would say American with mix heritage is more accurate. You can't just ignore the French and English part.

[@char08fal]

When most Americans say things like that, I think it's understood that our heritage comes from multiple places. And even Black Americans have European history. Also depending on where they're from all of us don't have English ancestors anyway. Certain states have a higher amount of Ulster Scots or Welsh and even German or French than English.

[@LittleMissPyeWacket]

@@char08fal Most don't assume a mix heritage, if only one linage is mentioned . If someone says they're of Italian decent as an example why then would anyone think there must be other blood lines too? that doesn't even make sense. I didn't suggest everyone has an English linage, not sure how you got that take away from what I said. I was just stating Biden's background.

[@muragarasu6384]

@@LittleMissPyeWacket I think generally people tend to say what they are the most of/most recent emigrated family members are, or what they have most of a connection with through family stories and traditions. At least here in the US, since everyone who isn't an indigenous American's family came from somewhere else sometimes many generations ago, "mixed" heritage is assumed, just like being "American" is already assumed, and why you might hear Americans say "I'm Irish and German" rather than "I'm a descendent of Irish and German people," since that's how Americans talk to one another. As for Joe Biden, he tries to paint a picture of relatability, being seen as coming from a middle class background is relatable to many working class Americans, and even more so when he throws in his Irish ancestry, as many Americans have Irish ancestors. Biden's father came from a wealthy background, so probably leans away from speaking about something which most Americans can't relate.

Irish people are so rad, it makes me want to go to Ireland and move there to be with my people 😀 (half-Irish)

[@MandyLeeRain]

I think they mentioned that in the video 😆 as the American who "thinks their Irish"

[@eirekelleher8366]

Man your not Irish you weren't raised there 😂

[@eirekelleher8366]

@That clone trooper in the back on the high ground what so your DNA makes you Irish ? What a load of crap he's American, I know people who are fully African blood and are more Irish because they were raised here 😂 a lot more to being Irish then your DNA , if your raised in america your American simple as

@That clone trooper in the back on the high ground Dna doesn't mean anything, if your raised in a country that's the cultures your going to adopt ,

@That clone trooper in the back on the high ground perfectly calm kid just speaking the fact

I think it is funny that people from Ireland, England, and Scotland seem to mention Route 66. It must be beause of movies or something

[@klepperkamarad]

The Irish need to travel a little more; Alaska, Texas, Oregon, Colorado, Vermont, Hawaii... all have amazing scenery, regional food, different economies and Ireland's area and population is comparable to a smaller state.

[@MandyLeeRain]

This was funny 😆🤭 My Irish friend also said he thinks it's funny people in America think they're Irish 🤣 My Favorite Irish thing as an American is Irish Dancing the Gardiner Brothers❤

We don’t think we’re Irish. We just have Irish ancestors.

I've been to Dublin Ohio. LOL! Dub's Pub is the best!

Spot on for the lady not liking media! If you visit, the USA is not like what you see on TV/ movies.

[@brianbozo2447]

Americans are warm and very welcoming and always great to meet. Just wish their government were less hegemonic and militaristic. Europeans cannot comprehend the fixation with the right to bear arms even after so many mass shootings. In most European countries the idea of someone carrying a weapon is completely alien and most places are safe. .

[@jeffreyepsteinburner5129]

Funny how they all talked about wanting to go to the worst cities in the country haha (L.A. , NYC)

[@TheFIoridaMan]

Funny they like country music cause country music is direct evolution of irish folk music. Same of the southern american accent our love of whiskey and distrust of the monarchy (and government in general)

[@frisbeetarian34]

The two young wans were the realest of the whole bunch. Even the stereotypical 'hippy' was a joke "shotgunning beers" haha. Would you ever piss off.

[@redfritz3356]

Do a what do you think of Russia or China video?

[@jessicaknight788]

Los Angeles and New York used to be the best places to visit, but the homelessness and lawlessness in these big cities have destroyed order and are dangerous and people are leaving these states. It’s a real shame...also our southern border is wide open and crime is rampant in some of the larger cities. I also want to say....I grew up poor in a tiny trailer house with my parents and sisters. My parents were very hard working and we had what we needed. My husband grew up poor too. We aren’t college educated but we were able to get opportunities at entry level jobs. Because we worked hard, we were able to learn skills to allow us to move up and we aren’t rich but we are upper middle class and quite comfortable (except the economy under this current leadership,we have lost some of our income and gas is really high). If you work hard, you can be successful in America. I would love to go to Ireland/Scotland/UK.
