Among other things!

We can (top of my head)

Dance (in our own special way)
Pull whoever we want in a bar, the girls love the accent way too much
bomb people, while being decent about it
bomb each other, while being decent about it
have a natural affinity for anything with a fiddle in
speak a language that no-one else in the world understands
play games that match nothing else on earth in terms of sheer brutality
produce something so amazing as me

Quite a list flecs.

Well, can't pin that whole escapade on the Irish if we're being fair and balanced.

Maybe so, for the Germans, the Irish and the Russians. But Spaniards? No senor

Really?

Apparently German-American is the biggest Ancestral group in Amerikastan. I've always wondered, you know how a lot of you guys have German ancestors, how did those people feel about fighting the Germans in WW2? Same goes for Italian-Americans and fighting Italy in WW2. Cos if anyone has watched Band of Brothers there's that American guy who was a POW but was fighting for the Nazi's and it made me think...

So there's Black History Month and now there's Irish-American month, one for each of the Presidents parents

Also Ted I thought you're from Northern Ireland, don't they think of themselves as a different "race" to the Irish? You know all that British/Ulster nationalism etc.. I don't understand it fully, but it's something like that right?

Also even if yous are Irish, yous ain't Irish-American
