@Andrew Campbell what? How tf am I making excuses for colonialism? The natives were still here first for multiple millenniums, so them coming here via the land bridge doesn't change anything. Colonialism is one of the worst evils that's ever been committed throughout history. It's right up there with the holocaust, slavery, and war. Like wtf? Where did you get an excuse for colonialism from my comment? Everything I wrote is literally true. It's just facts. I'm wondering if you thought I was trying to argue that the natives were immigrants. Technically, they are. But everyone who lives outside of Africa is, too, just like @betp Tuesday already pointed out lol. The natives were in the Americas THOUSANDS of years ago. America, the country, has only existed for a few _hundred._ Even when Columbus came over to the Americas, the Native Americans _still_ had *thousands* of years on the Europeans. I'd call that pretty well claimed. Europeans have another 500 years to go to even get up to *ONE* THOUSAND years. To get up to the amount of time that the natives were in the Americas before Columbus, people who live in north or south America with European ancestry would need to live here for the same amount of time from Columbus till 500 years from now, then multiply all that by *TWENTY.* How is that excusing colonialism? 🤨

It was used by saint patrick to teach the irish about Christianity ie the holy trinity 2) yes we drink on st patricks day. Not because we're 100% pationate of the holiday but because we get a day off so hell yeah to going on the lash 3) we dont call them bangers, thats english, theyre just sausages 4) i dont get the irish are hot headed thing. We had a hard history of oppression, famine, and fighting for independence so maybe thats why? 5) we did not invent shamrock shakes, thats mcdonalds 6) peat is used for a fire but where im from in the country its called turf 7) nick, i love you, i respect you, but never do an irish accent again hahaha 8) we're not lucky. Oppression and famine. 9) terrible irish accents everywhere 10) potatoes are amazing and versatile, so many ways to cook them 11) we never say top of the morning 12) we dont drink green beer 13) corned beef isnt that big of a thing here, but stew is. 14) leprechauns will steal your gold 15) irish step dancing is just called irish dancing 16) highlands is scotish 17) hurling, gaelic football and to an extent, handball are our national sports 18) we dont have wendys Ive never seen this movie, im so glad i never did, even as a kid it would have pissed me off hahahahaha

@@boopboopimarobot hate is a strong word. Its not so much all britain but specifically the english. Sure, there was a time where the irish hated the english ie oppression, famine, fighting for independence, the troubles.Theres a bloody history between our two nations where ireland would lose, or win only to be worse off. Now days, theyre our closest neighbour, 6 counties are still owned by them so we share a land border, and economically, they buy up our exports. If anything the irish are a bit annoyed with them at this stage. Why you ask? Brexit. They voted without a plan. The fear that if theres a border in northern ireland it could start a civil war again in the north. Things seem grand now. But theres only been peace for 24 years and durring brexit pockets of terror started to happen. Im from the south, only ever been to the north a few times, so if anyone from the north wants to correct me if i got my facts wrong, feel free.

I have to say that as an Irish person, the American fetishisation of Irish identity is kind of hilarious. We get a lot of American tourists in Dublin, usually boasting that their great grandfather's friend's neighbour's dentist's cousin is 1/8 Irish. We don't mind people visiting Ireland and having an interest in the culture, you just have to open to learning about it beyond your basic conceptions and have some respect. Also Irish culture varies a lot throughout, so what's the status quo in one place could be pretty different just an hour drive away!

A lot of us white Americans are really bothered by not having a sense of heritage beyond “white.” I think this is especially common for those who came during the industrial revolution. Our ancestors usually didn’t have money and a lot of them didn’t bother to keep records or pass down our history, and some of us don’t want to borrow the history of the people here who look like us but came earlier… 😒 It’s weird how desperate you can feel for a sense of cultural identity when all you know is that grandpa’s grandpa came from Germany on a boat in the 1890s. That’s… literally all I know about my heritage. All of it. Going to Europe and finding any trace of my ancestors would make me cry with joy.

@alanaoakes3775 2 года назад

@@BlondeEyes7 I respect that! The issue is not that people want to discover their heritage, but rather people arriving into a place with their own assumptions and not being open to learning new information. In Dublin we get some people who have Irish ancestors but also a fictional vision of Ireland's culture and history, and are upset when people try to correct. I hope you get to visit Germany and feel closer to your ancestors.

This movie treats nationality really weirdly. It feels like Disney wanted to mention what happened in Ireland and they also wanted to mention how Irish Americans/Irish immigrants were treated in the early 1900s, but then they also also wanted this to just be a silly kids movie about how Irish people are secretly leprechauns pretending to be human. Like if you want to say something just say it. If you want to be a silly kids comedy that doesn’t really make sense do that. But trying to have a serious conversation about historical discrimination against Irish immigrants while also being a movie about an Irish american kid slowly turning into a leprechaun doesn’t work.

I'm Irish, I've never seen this film but we do do the whole leprechaun and pot of gold thing for tourist stuff, like those big green Paddy tour buses and we do have Paddy's day parades but that originates from Irish immigrant in New York in 1762, Ireland's first St. Patrick's Day parade was held in 1903. Before then you'd just go to Mass and pubs would be shut seeing as it is a religious holiday. It's see less as a religious holiday now and more as a celebration of Irish culture. Now I wonder what Nigerians do for St. Patrick's Day... If you know, let me know, please. xx Edit: I eat a fair amount of potato like 5 or 6 times a week. Tayto invented flavoured potato crisps. This movie feels weirdly preachy like who actually brings up the 800 years of oppression if it is not relevance to the conversation. It's like when you see those people on American tv that are like 'the Irish were oppressed too' to dominations Black Americans experiencing oppression today.
