What Irish people? My Grandparents were immigrants, I'm a proud member of several Irish American organizations and I've never heard one person ever be offended by the Red hair and Freckles. Spare me the triggered offended crap. Good grief. Take that crap elsewhere.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch, red hair and freckled cleavage goes together like a wink and a smile
You're triggered by Red Hair and freckles used in a complimentary fashion and think that's emblematic of Irish culture? Good grief man. Loud and Proud of Irish beauty. Maureen O'Hara put a stamp on that for us.
Yes, More titties less talk!I was gonna explain in a nicer way but fuck it, I'll just piss everyone off.
If you're an American, especially born in the states, and your family immigrated from Ireland before you were born, you are not considered Irish to the people of Ireland. In order to be considered Irish you need to have been born there. The Irish see Americans claiming to be Irish in the same light as veterans see civilians stealing valor. This revelation triggers and upsets many Americans, but it's the truth. That's my ted talk, here's some titties.
Well, that's me, basically. My great grandfather emigrated to America (fun fact, he was first officer on the Titanic and lived). So, let me ask you this. If I'm of Irish descent, was never born there, but move there eventually, do I get to claim it again?
That makes sense. Emigrating to America and getting citizenship makes you an American, but what does that really mean? It’s a melting pot. It would be like trying to claim you’re somehow now a Native American. I can see not being considered Irish simply because you became an immigrant there. There’s much more to it than being a Country. There’s lineage, history, battles over preservation, and sort of a purity to it if you were born there. I probably wouldn’t accept an immigrant’s claim to be Irish either, had I been a 10th generation Irishman or something.No, but people would probably respect you for returning and not give you too much shit, especially if you learn the history and the customs and adapt. Now if you were able to become a citizen (if I recall, great grandparent wouldn't make the cut off) then you'd probably get some interested looks, but I think most people would accept you as being Irish, because you're an Irish citizen. It's why typically speaking if someone were to immigrate over Ireland, such as a refugee for example, many people wouldn't consider them Irish, but if they had kids on the Island, then they would consider those kids Irish. Especially if they are raised there. Don't get me wrong, people are happy to celebrate heritage and such, and talk about different things, but it's sort of a weird thing. We're not that far removed from our Independence, my great grandfather was conscripted to fight in WWI for the British Army, and refused and instead decided to remain home and fight for Irish independence, and after that the Irish Civil War, the troubles ended when I was living there, I had older cousins dipping across the boarder to carry out operations, uncles who fought during the boarder campaign, my father did a few raids of his own in his youth. Although I was too young to really remember much of that, as the ceasefire began when I was only 6, there are people who are very protective over Irish identity because it's still pretty recent. It's why I get so much crap when I go home for moving to the states, and I'll continue to get crap until I move back. Just how it is for some people. Most Americans trace their lineage to an Ireland that technically doesn't exist anymore, or worse toNorthernOccupied Ireland, which cause some Irishmen to believe that they shouldn't even claim Irish heritage but rather British. I don't split hairs that much though.
Now, of course for the titty sacrifice.
