Irish Americans are generally held with disdain among Irish people, because they're so far from being Irish but insist upon it so much. So many of them talk about their Irish heritage if they have one Irish ancestor, even though they usually have more english or German ancestors than Irish. It's just white Americans with no sense of identity finding one thing in their heritage and deciding to make that their identity, without having any knowledge of what Ireland is actually like. The most obnoxious ones will come to Irish people expecting applause for having Irish ancestors, but they won't know extremely basic stuff like what currency Ireland uses or that "Patty's Day" is not what Irish people call St Patrick's Day.

Hey some of us Italians do honor our heritage. I can pay bella ciao on the guitar and my first gun was a Beretta

Yeah, a lot of Irish Americans are pretty cucked. A lot of early Irish politics in America was reactionary fighting against other immigrant groups and minorities. Ethnic political machines controlled Chicago and a bunch of East Coast cities. Tons of East Coast cops have been Irish since before they invented cops.

There's jokes going around about joyless anti-communists sitting in church on sunday passing a hat so a bunch of secular socialist terrorists can by guns from a weird guy in the Med so they can create a scoailist republic.
