People who are not Irish, but call themselves Irish to justify their anglophobia and to glorify right-wing terrorism as "freedom fighting".

Almost allways an American who thinks they are Irish because their grandfather once ate a potato.

eIRAboos believe that calling themself Irish makes them a "persecuted minority", and therefore gives them a free pass to act as racist as they want.
