Lt. Brookman Caleidah Lady Blodwynn Why ever would people pretend to be Irish? Just for free drinks? I'm 1/16th Irish. No need to pretend, even though I'm not really all that Irish. My father's mother's mother's father is Irish. Ellis was the name. And I'm half female, seeing as my mother is that. Really now, I find it laughable that Americans cling so desperately to such thinned roots just so they can have bragging rights about something (not you Paul!). You don't hear me say I'm 1/24th British. I'm sure we can give you certain transplants to make you more British. wink

You don't hear me say I'm 1/24th British. You've gotta understand though, most Americans are pretty damn spread out; a lot of them don't have a single root greater than 1/16 or 1/8. I'm 1/8th Greek, and that's not even from the same side of the family, but from 1/16 on each side, and that's the single largest chunk of my lineage.

What's wrong with just proclaiming yourselves American?

I know that I am American. I have absolutely no qualms admitting that I'm a blue blooded yank. That said, I like to try and learn a bit about my family's background/history, and part of that is learning where they're from. That said, my mom was first generation born in the US. In that respect, I'm still fresh(ish) blood to the US.
I just danced in a circle and said nothing of import. Yay.
-=Edit=-
Mac, there are special bars for folks who have that same ailment of being "half-female." wink

It's all about heritage, or a perceived lack of. America is a young country and as such, many feel that they lack in heritage, unlike the "Old World" so to say. It just boggles me that people claim to be distantly Irish just to bask in the kudos of the moment or something like that. Isn't that what St. Patrick's Day is for though, so people everywhere can be Irish for a day?
Oh, while I'm at it, the 30th of April we're celebrating Queen's Day in my country, so wear something orange that day and you'll be a honorary Dutchman for the day! wink

Not the right hand, I'm the hand itself.
Because I'm a ruddy bloody villain, the definition is clear you'r the witness of a grilling.

I mean, I see myself as fully Canadian seeing as how my parents were born here. It's just that my mothers parents moved to Canada from Holland while married an then had my mom. But I still see myself as a hoser first and foremost.

It's not like I walk around pulling for Germany or the Czech Republic for sports, or claim some insane things as such. I'm proud of my family heritage. The thing for being Irish...I wasn't doing it to bask. It was more of a comment by association to topic at hand. I just so happened to learn it while spending time with my dad on St. Pat's.

Using a technicality I am 25% Australian
Way back in the 1940's My nan moved to Australia and got a Australian citizenship
thus making her legally Australian
But other than that I know nothing of a heritage other than being British/English
