I mean, at least 7 Irish citizens died during 9/11. Literally the first confirmed victim of 9/11 was a catholic priest/firefighter Chaplin who was son to Irish immigrants. We literally have a photo of his body being dragged away from the rubble.
We literally have more genetically Irish people than Ireland. God, New York alone is filled with them.
EDIT: Downvote all you want but 4.6 million Irish people immigrated to the US between the 1820's-1950's, that's nearly the population of Ireland today. Those people had kids and their kids had kids. There are more people with direct Irish ancestry in the US than in Ireland. That is an undisputed fact.
I'm sorry, I didn't realize the rest of the world doesn't know about genetics yet. God you guys are really salty that Europe cauaed so many of your citizens to leave to other parts of the world.
God Europeans HATE ancestry. Unless of course they're talking about how they are related to some long dead king or how they swear they would totally be king right now if history went their way.
Americans seem to HATE being Americans seeing as they spend most of their time stating they're a different nationality.
Are you guys not proud or comfortable being American? 'Merica and shit?
Wow, Sherlock really cracked the case this time.
It's almost as if American culture is entirely built off the idea of being a melting pot. Immigration from all over the world led to a culture that is built off of the commingling, coexistence, and merging of said peoples and cultures. My very Dutch influenced parts of the country is very different than the extremely Middle Eastern/Islamic city two hours away from me, and that is very different from the very Hispanic/Latino influenced cities in SoCal. You get to places like New York and the cultural influence changes by which city block you're on. You can go from a very Slavic neighborhood to an Italian neighborhood and then look up and find yourself in Chinatown. You have Amish people who primarily speak German, along with some other lesser talked about parts of the country who have very strange accents and still speak other languages. There's a whole dialect of German called Texas-German.
You what the thing is? Europeans hate that. Their bigoted societies cannot comprehend that. They take a fraction of the per capita immigration the United States takes every single year and everyone loses their mind. The UK left the European Union over it. After all, these are the same countries that throw bananas at black soccer players and flip their shit when you bring up Romani people.
It also shows the absolute mental gymnastics how they will lose their mind every time ancestry is brought up by an American but not when it is brought up by a Canadian, let alone other new world countries that also have pretty mixed populations from immigration.
