Once regarded as "white ethnics" by suburban Anglo-Americans, Irish-Americans are the most badass of all AMERICAN demographics. They are more American than they are Irish, but they are more Irish than anyone else in the United States (which makes them better). They are passionate about little actually coming from Ireland, but anything coming from South Boston or Manhattan’s West Side is fucking kickass in their eyes. Kind of like African-Americans with Atlanta or Italian-Americans with New York. They don’t really give a damn about the lifestyles or societies of people living in fucking Kenya or Polermo, they just like Sinatra or 50 cent.
Irish-Americans… or at least Americans who call themselves Irish have given us and have inspired:
-The Dropkick Murphys
-The Westies; a psychotic group of ultra violent career criminals in Hell’s Kitchen that were called one of the most savage organizations in the long history of New York street gangs by Rudolph Guliani
-Whitey Bulger: arguably one the most dishonorable and most impressive mob kingpins in recent history ( he’s second only to Osama on the FBI’s most wanted list)
-James Cagney
-The bad guys in “Last Man Standing”
-the movie and book SLEEPERS
-the movie Mystic River
-The upcoming movie the Departed
-Denis Leary
-One of the main characters in Bullet
-DIRTY FUCKING HARRY CALLAHAN
-The song “Jump Around”
-Jack Dempsy: one of the greatest boxers of all time
-The American street gang
-The drive-by shooting (Mad Dog Coll, look it up!)

-Did you see that crazy Irish guy.
-I assume you are indicating the working-class, green-wearing, intoxicated, obnoxious, loud, humorous, red-faced, quick tempered, American individual who was brawling in that Boston bar called the Shamrock Pub.
-Fine, if I call him an Irish-American guy will you shut the fuck up, you globally-conscious bastard?!?

Someone who is, in the majority of cases, not actually Irish at all. To be Irish, you have to be born in IRELAND. Its a relatlively small Island off the coast of the UK for those who don't know...
This whole identity seems to be popular amongst people who seem to be attracted to aligning with and relating to a nationality that is often seen to be; a minority, hard done by, repressed, and most importantly of all, WHITE. Yes, that is why it is regarded by some to be attractive to be strongly linked to this diaspora, YOU ARE HARD DONE BY, AND WHITE!!!!!!!!!! amazing! That, in my opinion, is why so many people want to be an Irish American, for them it is much better than being 'Mexican' or 'Black'. You're just American, get over it.

Irish-American: Someone who is part Irish and part American or someone who has Irish ancestors but lives in America. Let me just point out that if you have a grandparent from Ireland and go around shouting that your “so proud of your Irish side and Guinness, and leprechauns”... you can fuck OFF. I have a great grandparent from Australia and you don’t see me shouting “IM AUSTRALIAN I HAVE A KOALA IN MY BACK GARDEN” if 1 of your parents are Irish then it’s pretty acceptable so say your Irish-American but just calm it down a bit. At least learn ACTUAL Irish culture and what it’s like here instead of going on a couple or Irish travel websites and suddenly you “know everything about Ireland because... IM IRISH”
“Irish-American”: “My grandmother is Irish so that means I'm one of you lol Ireland is great I love Guinness, and St Pattys Day”
Irish bie: “Do you want me to do your knees in or what?” “We don’t only drink Guinness, we aren’t leprechauns, we DON’T have lucky charms we have fucking cheerios and it’s St Patrick’s day or St Paddy’s day.”
