Absolutely not. The Irish have produced some of the most literal geniuses and musical geniuses of all time. One of each category that come to mind are James Joyce and Shane MacGowan. There are many more. The Irish seem to have a greater amount of creative people than most cultures. I hope that answers your question.

Does it make a difference whether the anglophone is a Brit, a Canadian, an Irishman, or an American?   \n\n(I can't imagine how an Aussie's French would sound!)

First of all, Boston is full of Irish and Irish-Americans, so you don't have to worry about finding acceptance there.  Second, except for Macey (don't know where the h*ll she's comin' from), I've never known anyone here in America that didn't like Irish accents.  Many, many of us have Irish ancestry and listening to someone with an Irish accent is very  enjoyable.  I'm sure you will have a great time and get lots of positive attention because of your accent.

I'm pretty sure it doesn't mean eating corned beef and cabbage and drinking green beer.\n\nTo any and all of you who may be looking in on YA from the Emerald Isle, I imagine you all having a serious laugh on the ridiculous way us Yanks celebrate St. Patrick's Day.  I have Irish blood in me, and can only imagine the kind of heartache many of my fellow Irish men and women have known in the centuries of "the troubles" you have endured.

My fiancee was of of Irish decent.  A very pretty lady, but she died a bit over a week ago before we were to get married.  I loved her very much and miss her alot.

LOL at what Dba said. I was following the question well until "Irish People" was thrown in there. Ok, there is nothing wrong with you, and if these Irish people think so, then these Irish people should worry about themselves. Maybe those Irish people enjoy watching it like millions of others, but it's totally fine if you don't like it. It's your choice..tell them to deal with it.

Do Americans not of Irish descent have a right to celebrate St. Patrick's day?\n\nPeople can freakin' celebrate anything they freakin' want.

It's the day that we Irish Americans celebrate our heritage. Sadly, our ancestors decided to lose their identity and come to America. Unfortunately, here we are in the politically correct cesspool, that is over-sympathetic and over-sensitive towards every cause on the face of the earth, but there's nothing that I can do about it right now at least. The land of the free-ride and the home of what used to be a great, united nation. The America that my father grew up in and the one that I grew up in seemingly disappeared. It's getting to where I don't even recognize my own hometown anymore.\n\nAlso, about the actual holiday: They do celebrate it in Ireland. I have a friend who went there this year and he celebrated it there. He said that he had the time of his life.    \n\nSo.....with all of that being said, HAPPY BELATED ST. PATRICK'S DAY! ERIN GO BRAGH! Don't forget, make the world a better place and buy a Patty a Guinness, lol. Slan!

Many mixed race people have Irish descent!  There just may be other nationalities tossed in such as French or English.

Irish\n\nI have relatives in Dublin.  My mother who is Irish/English has a much stonger connection to my grandfather's Irish roots.   \n\nI know a lot of "Irish Catholic" Americans.\n\nPeople seem to identify very stongly with their Irish ancestory.

I agree with you- it's sad that most people only associate the Irish with one of 4 things: drunkenness, brogues, the color green and possibly the Blarney Stone. \nIf we were to celebrate it as a national holiday here in the U.S., perhaps more people would be aware of the long suffering plight of the Irish people. It's indeed a sad thing that a lot of folks who dress up in green once a year, don some green beaded necklaces and drink 'til they puke- all without really understanding who and what the Irish culture and people have gone through and continue to experience daily.

A lot of Americans are from Irish decent - I guess the potato famine had a lot to do with that!
