What The Hell ARE You?

[bloodrayne]

Heh...Every time I say that, I think of Predator......Anyway...


This is a carry over from another thread...

Discussing culture, ethnicity, lineage, heritage, etcetera...


I had stated that we are all mixed...And then I was thinking about exactly what I am...

So, I came up with:

German
Irish
Native American
Swedish

And more than likely a whole lotta stuff that I don't even know about.....So, how about you guys?

is everyone on here half Irish?

[ShankS]

I'm not having a dig at anyone....

but why is it yanks love to list an Irish connection , that probably goes so far back in family or distant family history all the way to great uncle's second cousin's twice removed great grandad brother's mother-in-law.... that the likelyhood of any Irish blood being passed is so miniscule, and my sperm has more chance of passing on a martian gene, than any of that herritage meaning anything. I see and read it all the time. What is it with the american/irish connection that yanks love so much? I can't stand the Irish, I hate their friggin accent and all I think about when someone mentions Ireland is friggin Pikeys.

It's like me saying I'm Australian since I had a great great great grandad who came from the outback somewhere two hundred years ago :rolleyes:

it just gets my goat, guess it's because I'm English.

Shanks, I think you are a cool guy. One of the best around here. However, I think this is sorta shitty.:( The Irish were probably the largest immigration influence in the country. A lot of people in the US, especially along the eastern states, and ESPECIALLY if your family hailed from the Appalachain Mts., which my family did. More than most of my mom's family came from Ireland. What do you want me to say? I'm Irish Celtic Pagan; what do you want me to say? Most white people in this country have Irish in them. Many white people in this country have a LOT of Irish in them.

It's just the way the cookie crumbled in the formation of our country.

[Nana_baby]

hey haunted, why is most of americans made up of irish?????

[Haunted]

That's because a lot of Irish people immagrated to the US, especially during the 1840's. You see, the English occupied Ireland from 1169-1938. During this time the British had the Irish farm their own land for English consumption leaving the Irish with the barest crop, the potato. When the potato blight hit Ireland it caused a famine because the English were taking the other crops. Over 1 million Irish people died. Another million immigrated to the US. They kept immigrating for a long time.

By the way, this information is from a great book: The Great Famine. Can't remember the author's name, but I'm sure you can find the book at Amazon.com

(This book was not written by an Irish person).

Let me just say that I like Ireland and England. I like England for all of the cool places, and the fact that the people are pretty cool folks as long as one doesn't act like an asshole. The Irish are a lot like Americans. It's either hit or miss. The nicest people that I met in Ireland were the old people, except for the old guy that stuck his tongue down my throat. (AMERICAN WOMEN AREN'T EASY DESPITE WHAT ANYONE THINKS). The old women in Ireland are great. Very sweet.

[Nana_baby]

oh well you are very opened minded arn't you?

My grandparents on my father's side were born in Ireland, along with their grandparents, and their grandparents, and their... yeah you get it. :p

[cheebacheeba]

There's German, there's French, and there's english in my descent...however, I'm a sixth generation Aussie on one side, fourth on the other, yup, I'm pretty sure that's it.

Half kiwi, half welsh. Not to sure if theres anything else. Dont know my family background.

[Marroe]

Another American "claiming" Irish Blood. More than 50%...Family name is Coffey. Dads side is mostly South American, some MORE Irish (oh my), and there's supposed to be some French in there too.

[ShankS]

it's not you guys, I'm on about. It was a generalisation of what I've read and seen, and get told about US citizens. Thats why I said no digs at anyone here. I just hate the ones who go on about how 'Irish' they feel they are, when they'd have to go back about 26 generations into the stone age to find distant Irish connections, which frankly, means bugger all as the blood ties have gone imo.


;)

[Haunted]

Right on, Shanks. I understand what you're saying now. My paternal gran has an Irish great-grandfather on her English side (English and Irish mix), but mostly, she's Cherokee. My mom's side is where the Irish is. As a matter of fact, my mom's bloodline is the reason I don't look like my dad's side of the family. My dad is the only one of his sibs that doesn't have DARK brown eyes.

I just wanted to point out that it really get's on the Irishs' nerves. They're like, "Here to check out your geneology?" I'm like, "I don't give a fuck." It's cool to see the different cultures that have helped make American (if we can have one yet), but all in all, we're just, Americans. That's what I tell folks in Europe. I'm American. Too young a nation to discount our ancestry, but too old to define ourselves as such.

so which body part is unknown?

[Haunted]

You know what surprises me? I was so sure that someone would say that they were part alien. I was sooo positive.

I can't say it, because I've already given my geneology.

I'm disapointed. :D
