Irish is not just a nationality; it's an ethnicity. One can be ethnically Irish without ever having stepped foot in Ireland, just as one born to Chinese parents is still ethnically Chinese even if they never stepped foot in China. The culture and genetic memory lives on in many of the members of the diaspora. Article 2 of the Irish Constitution itself acknowledges this: "Furthermore, the Irish nation cherishes its special affinity with people of Irish ancestry living abroad who share its cultural identity and heritage."
I'm Irish born and bred, and I love to see my cousins across the Atlantic embrace their heritage. Some ignorant Irish people scoff at the diaspora calling themselves "Irish", but I certainly don't and our cousins abroad, be it in the USA, Canada, Argentina, Australia, New Zealand or wherever else, are always welcome here to visit their roots.
Problem is not about americans claiming irish ancestry. Its about irish americans claiming to people they are irish. If someone told me that they were Swedish I'd assume they were from Sweden, not that they have 'swedish roots'
@@slifer0081that’s citizenship not Irish ethnicity
@@Christiankkav86 Exactly.
@@Christiankkav86 Exactly.
I'm Australian with Irish "roots" and have never considered myself to be the slightest bit Irish, because I'm not - plain and simple. I'm just glad that Aussies aren't obsessed with race and ethnicity like Americans are. Cheers.
There is no such a thing as an Irish American. You are either Irish or American. Same goes for Italian, Polish, African, British and so on.....
Correct, they are Americans of Irish descent….
@@austinthomas5495 They are Americans then. Not Irish-Americans. They have absolutely no affiliation with Ireland.
@@richardcollins8398 I just agreed with you, unless they emigrated from Ireland to America, they’re just Americans of Irish descent. Ethnically speaking, the only true Americans are the indigenous people that were here prior to the Europeans arrival. Nationality wise, these people are just Americans who had an ancestor or 2 from Ireland. Calling them Irish-American is a travesty.
@@richardcollins8398what about German Americans? Since you didn't mention them?
@@Ben-Lerold If they are born in America, they are just Americans too.
Americans should know that Ireland stands with PALESTINE 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸
Well said , Free Free Palestine 🇵🇸
Not all
Not a single one of these people is Irish.
Correct, they are of Irish descent….
You can still be irish by descent. Kinda depends how far back you go. If your parents or grandparents are irish then citizenship ship law in Ireland says you are irish too by default (regardless of where you were born). I am irish myself (from county waterford), and I think many of these people have a legitimate right to an irish identity of some kind

@@austinthomas5495so they should say ‘I’m American with Irish ancestry’ not ‘I’m Irish’.
@@CaveRescueMedic Absolutely!
The potato famine but they leave out the fact the Irish people have been here since the 1600s as slaves
Irish people were never slaves they were indentured servants
We were lucky in way transported if criminals as most of Europe at the time would have been executed for the slightest of crimes ,had family transported to Australia.bigest transported of children Catholic Church even up to late 1950s
No they werentttttt
The Irish have been severely discriminate against but we've never been specifically enslaved in the sense of chattel slavery, though this idea probably came from the phenomenon of indentured servitude of the Irish
I'm part Irish and part English. I don't like Saint Patrick's Day. It's not biblical and we are not required to celebrate it. Also, I have nothing against Irish people. It should be your own choice.
without the Irish the USA might have less roads and railways. Without the Welsh, the USA would not be the USA. We were amongst the founding fathers not the founding labourers.
My advice to ever irish American is next march get yourselves a keffiyeh and show your support for Palestine on our national holiday, we irish will always stand with the people in Palestine. Ireland and Palestine unfree will never be at peace 🇮🇪❤️🇵🇸.
We'll said my friend keep it lit 🇮🇪
Why do Americans say St Patty day can't they say St paddy
Plastic paddy’s
Never heard that a day in my lifetime 😂
Accents
Plastic paddy’s
Waaaaaaiiiit a minute....a video highlighting a non minority race?? I can't even wrap my brain around this.
Eh??
Also “ Paddy” is the N word for Irish. It’s St Patrick’s day or St Patty’s. NOT paddy
I'm gonna guess you're not Irish.
this is the most american comment ever, you’re not irish mate it IS paddy’s day. Us native irish do not abide by your monstrous concept of “racial” constructs
@@professorminstrels6460He isn't. I've never heard an Irish person use the term St Patty's Day in my life. I've heard an Irish person use the term St Paddy's several times.
@@mrk45sorry I misread that. I think I confused myself as it was like 3am 😂😂. Yea you're right
He is right about not using the word paddy for irish though, we definitely don't like that
