Such a narrow view. Maybe one too many Irish car bombs back in the day?


Not that I need to explain my genealogy, but a couple great grand parents from Ireland. I have family there. Never drank green beer. Usually spend St. Patrick's with my parents and grand parents, eating corned beef, cabbage, and potatoes (kids haven't been feeling the best, don't want grandpa and grandma sick. They're in their 90's.)

Irish, German, Swedish/"Danish"/"Dutch", English, with surnames to match (immediate family). My last name is German. Fun fact, it's one of (if not "the") rarest surnames in the USA, a little over a dozen of us.

Even if someone is only "1/25", is there an issue with acknowledging or appreciating that? You're a fraction of "something", no pride in your own bloodline?



I also enjoy sauerkraut (queue: dump on Oktoberfest).
