The irony is that about 1 in 10 Americans is of Irish descent, about 32 million. As an American I have always felt when traveling abroad that I've had to be something of a cultural ambassador to try and undo the terrible impressions made by my fellow countrymen.
That's just sad. As an American who looks forward to traveling to different countries and learning about those cultures, I find it disturbing to judge everyone of a nation based on some obnoxious people on social media, certain people etc (which, btw, many Americans don't like either) - especially if you've never even met someone from that country. If you truly want to end the "-isms" of this world, you need to be open minded and understand that a whole population is not represented by just one person or small percentage, etc. And if you can't keep an open mind, thus keep looking for a reason to hate, you'll probably find it because you aren't open to true understanding and learning. Eg: calling something stupid or ugly and not opening yourself up to even discover why a culture believes it is important. Of all the people I know, I've never heard ANYONE say they hate the Irish, British, etc. And please let me dispel a misconception. An interest in learning about our heritage is NOT us trying to be you. We recognize that we aren't (insert whatever original homeland of our ancestors). We know having that ancestry isn't the same as being born and growing up there etc. But we are curious to learn about our ancestry. There are many different cultures in America and I'd say there are so many festivals of these cultures in every state. Eg: Oktoberfest is celebrated in many cities in every state. Such things are a fun way to celebrate and learn about that culture and are open to all people to come and learn. Instead of all the negativity, I'd challenge people to find at least 5 things they like about a country they think they hate. It's simple, really. Treat people the way you want to be treated and be kind to one another.

It has nothing to do with the fact that they're scotch-irish. They probably don't even know that the majority of Irish Americans are actually scotch Irish. This is proven by the fact that modern scotch Irish aren't seen as non Irish by them
Remember, when the Irish first came to this country they were not well liked and had a bad reputation. They also had a bad reputation in other parts of Europe like Germany for example. Ireland became popular because of Irish Americans. I firmly believe this. Had they not emigrated in masse and Americanized themselves I really don't think people would think much of them.
That is patently absurd, when somebody hears Irish who is not American in no way shape or form do they think of Americans with a bit of Irish ancestry. You saying that just makes you sound like a giant narcissistic American feeding the stereotype further, this is why Europeans have disdain for Americans. Ireland is popular for it's distinct culture most Americans know nothing about, despite trying to claim the identity in which doesn't belong to them. Nobody born and living in America can claim any identity other than American. Maybe they can identitfy with their state but that's all, you have your own distinctively insular and self absorbed culture.
you are not askng Irish ppl anything, dude, you are interviewing highly uneducated tiktokers, hardly representative. do any of these even have jobs. i was in ireland for 2 weeks last year and they LOVED Americans, or at least me...from the older guards at the museum to the youngsters at shops, they were freindly polite and enjoyed chatting. and they all volunteered that they like americans.

Thank you for your comment dear. I personally believe that the majority of American people are nice and welcoming as long as i keep my limits for sure and behave well !

As an American Mick, (Irish - Scottish decent) - I think Irish people watch American TV/Media and believe it is reality. Which shows true ignorance and an inability to do actual research. That's why we had Diaz issue McGregor a beatdown.
It is reality in comparison to how we live in Europe, America is indeed unsafer, louder and Americans are the fattest people on earth. Those are statistics. That has nothing to do with reality series. Also it is well-known that a certain amount of Americans aren't always well aware of how the rest of the world functions. I as a Dutch person got reaction of Americans like: What is The Netherlands? so they already don't know our country even though our country is involved in America and in the beginning of New York. To be honest I don't watch any reality series. I just watch documentaires and videos from Americans themselves, but also comparisons to how life is in America and in Europe. It's just not the same.
@@-_YouMayFind_- Unsafe? Netherlands has 800k crimes registered in 2022. New York the same size population wise as Netherlands less then 500k...How are we so much unsafer or did you fall prey to social media also... Maybe you want to watch some better documentaries lol. Fattest people on the planet sure I will give you that but don't worry as the big companies take hold in Europe you will catch up in fact 29% of New Yorkers considered Obese and 23% of Dutch....6% isn't that much of a stretch when you put your statistics into context. Where are your facts coming from? "Dorpies: Also it is well-known that a certain amount of Americans aren't always well aware of how the rest of the world functions." It is clear a certain amount of Dutch people suffer from the same issue. Let's look at Florida, bit higher pop then Netherlands. 28% versus your 23% obesity, crimes reported 406k versus your countries 797k.
@@-_YouMayFind_- 1)The murder rate in some European cities, especially the ones that have conspicuously high immigrant populations, like Stockholm, is higher than in most American cities. 2) "Loudness" is completely subjective. I don't know how you can even judge this. It's particularly silly coming from the Irish, who are probably louder than Americans, on average. 3) Check the most recent obesity statistics. Ireland has the highest obesity rate in the EU. 61% of males are overweight and 26% are obese. Women are 49% overweight and 25% obese. In America, the overall rate is 32% obese. Ireland is in no position to criticize the US; Ireland is nearly as fat as America (and the UK is just behind, for what it's worth).

@@Glorious_Kim_Jong_Un Yes of course specifically Americans because no other countries citizens do it. It's purely an American trait because America is a country that lacks togetherness and it's own culture. Hence you all claim your ancestors cultures to which you have no connection to.
Most of these lads are just trying to show off for the camera and look tough. Most Irish people love the US and and it's people. Just look at the welcome we give your Presidents. The US is largely German and Irish in terms of it's ethnicity and we in Ireland are very much aware of this
Mostly German and English, but the English roots are so old that they don't even warrant a mention anymore. But also significant Scots Irish and Irish, which when added together do make up a very sizeable proportion of American European ancestry in the States.
@cigh7445 No most of the US Is German and Irish in terms of white ethnicity. That's according to every census.Prior to independence there was only 2 million people living in the 13 colonies. Over 4 million Irish went to the US over a century period not including those who colonized it before independence

Does he think that the Irish are British or something?
I heard stories about Irish people when they first went to America they didn't like Italian people just because but we all know what happened there Italian people had Italian mob to be proud of to be Italian Irish people have Saint Patrick's Day One Day at the whole year
we arent jealous, but we dont hate americans for sure, they were just poking fun. america quite literally doesnt feel like a real place to a lot of people (including myself sometimes lol)
By Irish roots, do you mean that your great, great grandfather twice removed was Irish? If so, the Irish will be totally accepting of you. Just be sure to remind them when you visit.
I think I counted about 6 actual Irish people in that video - the boys who could hardly speak and the two girls, the blond and the one with the big forehead. It looked more like Penn Station.

The only guys who were even trying to do an Irish accent were some from the group of young boys and I could barely hear them because it's late and I gotta keep it quiet.
There's so much Irish blood in America because you guys ran to America from a war😂 you guys fought the British for Independence but still pay the British😂
Maybe next time pick people who have more experience and don't give grade school answers. Push back a little and give them something to think about instead of saying nothing and changing nothing.

They are actually. I am not saying they are right. But I think you need to understand culture in diff in Ireland to Americans. Its just misunderstanding.
@@RingRhino You'd want to all get over yourselves. An Irish American is more Irish than a Nigerian or Pakistani with an Irish passport.

This is proven by the fact that modern scotch Irish aren't seen as non Irish by them

Remember, when the Irish first came to this country they were not well liked and had a bad reputation. They also had a bad reputation in other parts of Europe like Germany for example. Ireland became popular because of Irish Americans. I firmly believe this. Had they not emigrated in masse and Americanized themselves I really don't think people would think much of them.
That is patently absurd, when somebody hears Irish who is not American in no way shape or form do they think of Americans with a bit of Irish ancestry. You saying that just makes you sound like a giant narcissistic American feeding the stereotype further, this is why Europeans have disdain for Americans. Ireland is popular for it's distinct culture most Americans know nothing about, despite trying to claim the identity in which doesn't belong to them. Nobody born and living in America can claim any identity other than American. Maybe they can identitfy with their state but that's all, you have your own distinctively insular and self absorbed culture.
How can you judge Americans if you’ve never been to United States?
Because you don't have to visit America to find an American
Those Irish kids are just winding you up.
Yes and no.
You’re in denial
As a British person who's been to America I've never had a problem. The country is rich is culture, history and the people are great.
I think it's funny that non-white "Irish" want to talk bad about the most diverse country in the world.

you are not askng Irish ppl anything, dude, you are interviewing highly uneducated tiktokers, hardly representative. do any of these even have jobs. i was in ireland for 2 weeks last year and they LOVED Americans, or at least me...from the older guards at the museum to the youngsters at shops, they were freindly polite and enjoyed chatting. and they all volunteered that they like americans.
I`m Irish born and bred. I like Americans. Glad you had a good experience here!

I am from India and half of the people who has been interviewed doesn't look like Irish. If they are not IRISH why asking them for opinion about other country on behalf of Irish people?
It’s like asking hateful racist modi Hindutvas.

Dear American people : I am from Lebanon which is part of the Middle East. Do you hate me ?? Do you label me as a terrorist ? will you spit on my face if i ever came to your country ? I personally believe that in every nationalities there are good and bad people ! peace !
As an American I think it’s cool you’re from Lebanon. You’d be definitely be welcomed here.
Personally, I’ve always wanted to visit Beirut. The amount of history you guys have is incredible.
Thank you for your comment dear. I personally believe that the majority of American people are nice and welcoming as long as i keep my limits for sure and behave well ! The main weakness in the American personality is lack of knowledge for what is happening in the world especially the Middle East because the media in the US is not always showing the other side of the story but i am confidence that truth will win in the end. I believe every person deserve to live in peace and justice. If you ever came to Lebanon you will be welcomed with open arms. Hope you can visit Harrissa mountain or the mountain of Virgin Marry as it consist of a big statue of Virgin Mary on its highest peak overlooking the bay of jounieh and the sea ! It is a popular place visited by tourists from all over the glob. I pray for peace everywhere and thanks again for your comment

Except they will grow older and their opinions won't change. Do you think a bunch of liberal pro-choice, pro LGBTQ transgender kids are going to magically grow up and change their minds? You wish.
I like Leather Jacket Guy and Daniel Day Lewis (he's much better than Jerry Lee Lewis). I sing Tu Ra Lu la Rula and Wilde Mountain Thyme. People of Ireland, accept us, we Americans are huge fans of potatoes and there are plenty of heavy drinkers here too.
No matter where in the world, there will always be the pot calling the kettle black, then after that the sane ones.
As an American Mick, (Irish - Scottish decent) - I think Irish people watch American TV/Media and believe it is reality. Which shows true ignorance and an inability to do actual research. That's why we had Diaz issue McGregor a beatdown.
It is reality in comparison to how we live in Europe, America is indeed unsafer, louder and Americans are the fattest people on earth. Those are statistics. That has nothing to do with reality series. Also it is well-known that a certain amount of Americans aren't always well aware of how the rest of the world functions. I as a Dutch person got reaction of Americans like: What is The Netherlands? so they already don't know our country even though our country is involved in America and in the beginning of New York. To be honest I don't watch any reality series. I just watch documentaires and videos from Americans themselves, but also comparisons to how life is in America and in Europe. It's just not the same.
@@-_YouMayFind_- Unsafe? Netherlands has 800k crimes registered in 2022. New York the same size population wise as Netherlands less then 500k...How are we so much unsafer or did you fall prey to social media also... Maybe you want to watch some better documentaries lol. Fattest people on the planet sure I will give you that but don't worry as the big companies take hold in Europe you will catch up in fact 29% of New Yorkers considered Obese and 23% of Dutch....6% isn't that much of a stretch when you put your statistics into context. Where are your facts coming from? "Dorpies: Also it is well-known that a certain amount of Americans aren't always well aware of how the rest of the world functions." It is clear a certain amount of Dutch people suffer from the same issue. Let's look at Florida, bit higher pop then Netherlands. 28% versus your 23% obesity, crimes reported 406k versus your countries 797k.
@@-_YouMayFind_-
1)The murder rate in some European cities, especially the ones that have conspicuously high immigrant populations, like Stockholm, is higher than in most American cities.
2) "Loudness" is completely subjective. I don't know how you can even judge this. It's particularly silly coming from the Irish, who are probably louder than Americans, on average.
3) Check the most recent obesity statistics. Ireland has the highest obesity rate in the EU. 61% of males are overweight and 26% are obese. Women are 49% overweight and 25% obese. In America, the overall rate is 32% obese. Ireland is in no position to criticize the US; Ireland is nearly as fat as America (and the UK is just behind, for what it's worth).
You’re probably Scotch-Irish which isn’t Irish

They get super angry if you say 'Irish American' if you were born in America. It's one of many things they get very angry over specifically with Americans.
@@Glorious_Kim_Jong_Un Yes of course specifically Americans because no other countries citizens do it. It's purely an American trait because America is a country that lacks togetherness and it's own culture. Hence you all claim your ancestors cultures to which you have no connection to.
By "Irish American", do you mean "American"?
@@invtrk1046 They hate themselves so much they always have to claim their ancestors countries and culture.
Most of these lads are just trying to show off for the camera and look tough. Most Irish people love the US and and it's people. Just look at the welcome we give your Presidents. The US is largely German and Irish in terms of it's ethnicity and we in Ireland are very much aware of this
Most Irish people do not fuckin love the US lad
This is why there are so many Violent Neo Nazis in my country!
Mostly German and English, but the English roots are so old that they don't even warrant a mention anymore.
But also significant Scots Irish and Irish, which when added together do make up a very sizeable proportion of American European ancestry in the States.
@cigh7445 No most of the US Is German and Irish in terms of white ethnicity. That's according to every census.Prior to independence there was only 2 million people living in the 13 colonies. Over 4 million Irish went to the US over a century period not including those who colonized it before independence
Most Irish people I’ve met were super kind and nice. When I went to London, most of the people who were Irish were the kindest to me as a visitor from the United States. I’m surprised Irish people actually don’t like Americans.
