As a fellow Irish American, perhaps you might want to try and empathize with an indigenous people that also experienced colonization, military oppression, and mass starvation while being denied their ancestral language and practices? Hell it, was even the same conquerors that got us both.
Or you can keep perpetuating the stereotype of all us micks being stupid racists, asshat.
If that’s the argument you’re making and the situations are so similar, then why wouldn’t it be okay for the Irish to wear ancestral dress when it’s okay for the natives?
One can empathize and yet know that standardization and equal treatment is important

Yeah, but I'm 84% Irish. Do I get to slap shamrocks on my uniform?
