Are you 'American' or 'Irish'?

[prohornblower]

I say "Irish", but I'm 6th generation American. My ancestors got here in 1850. I would never say "I'm American".

I thought everyone can tell Americans from a mile away anyway? And saying you are "American" doesn't mean much, as this country is such a melting pot.

Diebitter,

To other Americans I am Irish. When outside the country I am an American. Make sense?

Diebitter,

I am of Irish, Welsh, and English descent.

Mostly Irish, though. I call myself American though, mainly because I'm tired of all the PC [censored].

both sets of my grandparents came to the united states from ireland prior to having children. they were of scotch irish descent. that combined with the fact that i ahve a fairly irish look to me, i work and drink with a first generation irish immigrant, and my last name is very recognizably irish, tend to make people question me about my irish heritage before i tend to bring it up. i don't feel any shame claiming it, since it is still a fairly direct line.

Im such a mutt that when people ask me where Im from, I just grab ahold of an accent and run with it... I can do everything white, Im part mexican so I got that, pretty much whatever.

I kinda wish it was cleaner, my heritage, I'd like to have more than a 200 year history, but it's all good:

German, Dutch, Native American, Mexican, and pacific islander.

bleh.
