Because unlike France we don’t insist people abandon their ethnic and tribal affiliations in order to be American.

Many English Britons have been killed with a Tommy gun or AR18 donated by Irish Americans.

Whatever you’re doing you’ve ended up with a psychotic society and a gun death rate that a world war would be proud of.
It’s basically a cobbled together pseudo nation of wannabes at each others throats

While many in the United States viewed the IRA as a terrorist organization, some Irish-Americans regarded its fighters as heroes, and provided a steady stream of guns, money and materiel to the IRA's bloody campaign against the British. In this episode, host Peter Krogh sits down with Irish-American Congressman James M. Shannon and Martin Galvin of Northern Irish Aid, a fund-raising group accused of supporting the IRA, to discuss the IRA, its alleged Irish-American connection, and the problem of Northern Ireland.

Well, to be honest, one can’t really claim Ireland has a history of tolerence… I mean the whole protestant / catholic thing…

And when you look at that, you see a history of persecution.
And being persecuted doesn’t seem to make a person more humane, but rather harsher towards others.

Racism is inbedded in fear and (perceived) mistreatment.

It’s not about the blood and I use those clips because they are based on reality. It did not cross my mind that you might disagree.

Yes I know many Irish were killed by British weapons - that’s part of the reason why we have Irish in the USA!

Now your just errant nonsense, perhaps you stick to other peoples fictions
The potato blight was not a British black ops and the resulting tragedy was the result of unbridled free market capitalism which was also perpetrated by the Irish on the Irish.
Nobody whines or hangs onto a grievance like a Celt, the same uncaring government that oversaw the Irish famine was also ...[text shortened]... outhern England by the way, but he only ever mentions his bigoted Irish granny, puke inducing stuff.

How can I be a Celt if I’m not Irish?

I wasn’t accusing you of being a Celt or Irish but if you’ve internalised the culture of grievance then that’s what you are for the purposes of this topic.
I’m definitely more Celt than you are, I’ve got my Scot’s Irish mother to thank for that.
