What is the American facsination with the Irish? The Irish have completely branded themselves shamelessly as four leaf clover toting leprochauns to an adoring US public.

I mean family history is great, but tattoing your ass with a pot o' gold is not what I call paying homage.

I'm irish and my family is very clanish. Makes it very difficult to have relationships with many women because they simply don't understand our way.

My grandparents on my mothers side came here from Ireland when their children were very young. They were terribly poor, but as many immigrants in those days, they were willing to work and made a new home for their family here. I really never dwell on the 'old country' and have never had the opportunity to go there. There is not one leprechaun in our entire bunch!!! From my experiences with true irish, they tend to be very clanish and can be very distant. Maybe because my grandparents settled more to the southern part of the country, that cold distant clanish part mixed just enough with the more genteel southern way of life. BTW no one in my entire family has a tattoo and St. Patricks day comes and goes like any other day.

Of all nationalities (except for maybe some Italians), Americans with even a remote seven-times removed Irish ancestor act as if they just came over on the boat themselves. What's up with this? I know people who have Irish dogs, listen to a lot of Celtic music, bake "Irish" sodabread and go to Ireland the one time they ever go overseas. They're about as Irish as the potatoes in my frig.! Why do they claim to be Irish and hang on to a very remote ancestry as if its the coolest nationality in the universe?
