      Irish people are an ethnic group.
      Daniel O'Connel coined the well-known saying about the Duke of Wellington: "Being born in a stable does not make one a horse."
      When the Englishman heard this, he repeated the quote because he agreed with it. The quote is often attributed to him. Take note that I referred to him as an Englishman. The Duke was born in Dublin.

      Unfortunately IMO, Irish is generally the term for us as an ethnic group as well as nationality.
      It would be better if the ethic group was referred to its other name more often, i.e. Gael.
      Tobias is obviously not a Gael, but he is an Irish citizen, so he's Irish for me.
      Btw precious few in Ireland are actually 100% Gaelic Irish.

      @SmokyOle I'm not denying that Africans can be citizens of Ireland. The nation of Ireland is not just lines on a map. Have you ever been abroad? Have you been to India, sub-Saharan africa? I'm guessing not because they are GENERALLY unsafe, sexist, and racist. You don't have to go there to know we are not the same. They have their traditions,
      values and religions, and we have ours. He is not Irish, Chinese, or Japanese. It's nothing to be ashamed of, but he is African; It should really go without saying. Allowing our culture and society to be watered down with mass immigration is not virtuous. It's pathetic, and we're paying the price. Do you want Ireland to become minority Irish? Are you willing to give up your country, culture and history for the purposes of growing our GDP and creating "diversity." Do you want Ireland to become like London(minority English). Stop trying to portray your weakness as kindness.

What more proof do you guys want that he is Irish, for him to be white and have blue eyes and be ginger? I find it weird that we hold prejudices for people who hage lived their entire lives in this country, and we still don't welcome them as our own.

    By the logic of so many people there are no such thing as a white American, white Australian, white South Africans etc because they don’t speak the language of the indigenous people and have ancestry that originated elsewhere. Regardless of if they were born in that country or not. It doesn’t make sense. Many of the people commenting are not living in the places that their ancestors came from…

      Tobias is a credit to both his family and Ireland. However, I was a bit confused by his response when asked about his future in Ireland. He said, 'They have good hearts, they are good people, and they're friendly and everything,' which sounded as though he didn't include himself among the Irish. Shouldn't he have said 'we' instead? It makes me wonder if he doesn't see himself as Irish. In this instance, I think he unintentionally distanced himself from the Irish people, perhaps subconsciously. Ironically, he seems to be committing the same 'microaggression' that he perceives others are guilty of.
