Default Re: Are you \'American\' or \'Irish\'?
See it depends on the circumstances.

If you ask me that question in a bar in New Jersey the answer is "Irish/German". If in a bar in Europe the answer is "American". If in a bar in Texas the answer is "Yankee (but I've lived here for 20 years)".

So let me ask you diebitter, what would someone who was born in England, but who's parents are from, oh, Jamaica (insert any "Empire" country here) answer? Are they viewed as Englishmen?
