why are americans so irishboos?
They're not Irishboos, they claim to be authentic Irish
MUH HERITAGE
The moment they see this, they realize their ancestors were actually French and Hungarian.

Finding out that the part of my family everyone thought was Irish is actually English was one of the best moments of my life.

This is the case for a significant amount of "Irish-Americans".
Irish was/is the dominant culture over English especially among the working class in east coast USA. So the cultural one drop rule applied with mixed families, and even some which weren't mixed.

With my family it was more of a "fuck that place, we Americans now" thing. Muh heritage is actually frowned upon in my family. Our attitude is more like >>52414842

it's too do with the narrative americans have surrounding the national ideal and the american dream, the irish in america pretty much embody it

My fucking girlfriend is one of these Irish-American muh-heritage shits. Her great grandparents on her mom's side and her great great great great grandparents from her dad's are from ireland but she's obviously mixed with other European. Yet she keeps talking about her irish heritage and even calls herself "Irish" before she would call herself "American"
The funniest part is that my parents are literally immigrants, and I'm a 2nd generation Indian-American, yet I associate myself with my ancestral heritage less than she does. I thought the Irish-American thing was a meme until last year.

Reminder that the first Taoiseach of constitutional Ireland was a half Irish half Spanish American that changed his name to seem more Irish
