I live on the other side of the world and had no clue Halloween traditions originated in Ireland (going to double-check this myself) and thought that a leprechaun for St Patrick's day was legit. I know the States has quite a bit of Irish history due to immigrants/migrants escaping poverty from the potato famine.

    I think there is sort of a misunderstanding between Irish people and us Irish Americans. when people from Ireland talk about being Irish their talking about national Identity when Irish Americans say they are Irish they mean an ethnic identity which is weird to a lot of people in Europe who don't come from an immigrant nation like the US and Canada where there surrounded by all kinds of people with different ethnic origins and people are just looking for a way to stand out and to hold on to their heritage so that it doesn't become forgotten. I'm Irish American meaning that my ancestors came to America not from England or Germany but from Ireland but I don't at all see myself as being Irish in a national sense in that sense I'm 100% American . I think this ticks some Irish people off who think that were trying to say we are the same as them and of course we not but we do have a shared heritage.

I would like to dispel one thing from this video, there are a tremendous amount of Irish descendants here in the states and they have very strong family ties to Ireland. Grandparents and great grandparents born in Ireland passed the love of their native land to the next generations. Irish should embrace this connection, encourage it whenever possible. Ireland is in American culture, rooted very deeply and should be celebrated. I cant wait to go back to Ireland

I don't know the whole story all i heard from them was this was in the 1600s and that they help a few tribes fought off the English before they took to the seas again. All i know was that the hated the British with a burning passion and would constantly help some natives and even freeing some slaves of the English They said their ancestors never forgot their help and their kindness toward them and helping them without wanting anything in return as long as they got to fight the English.

      Irish people sometimes don’t really fully-appreciate or lose sight of the fact that Americans are referring to their ethnicity and cultural background when they speak of themselves as being Irish and that they are not trying to claim to be Irish in the same way as someone who was actually born and bred here. It’s just a slight disconnect in the way Americans and Irish speak about the subject and understand each other in that context. Genuinely though, I wouldn’t worry about it in the slightest - Irish people are well used to this aspect of how Irish-Americans express themselves and, at worst, it usually gives rise to nothing more than a little jovial ribbing. At the end of the day most of us understand fully how important heritage is to Americans and we also value greatly our cultural and historic connections to the U.S. and its people.

I totally understand what yall mean though💕 Please look at it this way...Americans love sharing where their ancestors came from. For instance....my great grandparents didnt migrate here until 1900. That's only 122 years ago. We dont know any different...its just always been like this here. It's gratitude not shameful if I make any sense.

My great grandparents on my moms side were from Limerick and my dad's parents were raised by Irish parents from Munster Ireland. My ancestry proved that I am 99% Irish Heritage. I came from a predominant long line of Irish Lineages. I resent the term "plastic Paddies" if used uncarefully because my bloodlines tried to retain tradition and honor to our lineage and Ancestry despite leaving from Famine & War. Some Irish need to understand American born are not all faking being Irish for some sort of display but out of being raised to know our family History,DNA,and Culture (before America even existed). My family lineage had 11 castles on my dads side alone in Ireland. Territory marked with my last name, the graves of my ancestors and the blood they shed that I share. I'd be damned before someone called me a plastic paddy without disrespecting my family. My grandma Eleanor Ryan spoke fluent Gaeilge and carried the traditions on such as sewing. I live in America where people who come from China are still respected as Chinese by their families, where Mexicans are still respected as Mexicans when American, Where Indians are still respected as Indians when in America, so tell me those who provoke "plastic paddies" insults carelessly, What do you call Irish blood when displaced and moved to America through Famine and War? IRISH. Which coincidentally, is why I get discriminated against in the SW, because I am Irish which makes me a minority here. Sucks when your own Irish Roots don't care to claim their missing descendants. My bloodline didn't fight for me to be mocked.

      This I copied and pasted from Qora...but there are many similar stories (a comment from and Irish...I'm Scots by the way)
      "To be brutally honest, I don’t think we think of them very often, and if we do it’s with mild amusement at their various delusions.
      For example. I recently met an Irish-American in my local while enjoying a glass of Belfast Porter. He was wearing a polo shirt and a great pair of Black Watch tartan trews. And he was loud, explained that his family had emigrated to the US before it was the US. Told me I should be ashamed of myself for serving in an army that had been so beastly to his relations. Was a bit flummoxed when I pointed out that he was wearing the uniform trousers of a unit specifically raised to harass the Gael.
      actually we were enjoying the craiq and he told me his name and where he thought he came from. That gave me a bit of pause, so, it being a wet day and with nothing much to do, I invited him home to take a look at a house built before the US existed.
      once there and with a bit of googgling I was able to demonstrate that his Irish ancestors were not down trodden Catholics, but were good Presbyterian Ulster Scots who far from escaping from the beastly Brits were wealthy economic migrants.
      I think it broke his heart not to be able to sing rebel songs authentically any more".

There might be a few other odd junction types. But there are in fact roundabouts.
