How do Irish people feel about Americans?

Its called having a sense of humour.

​@@user-sp3wd2nn3e its a terrible sense of humor then

The Irish accent is changing The black girls sound American

@@damianflanagan7359 unfortunately the global spread of american culture has been brought about by domination of TV and the international media. This includes the gradual loss of regional accents.

​@@user-sp3wd2nn3e no, it's an insult that's disguised as just a joke so that they can get away with it.

Every American claims to be Irish the St patrick's day parade has millions of people attending

​​​@@anthonym3351 Because millions of Irish fled across the sea to America. Irish is one of the biggest ancestry groups. The Irish are a historic part of America. I don't think these folk realize how much their people have shaped the country they are judging. 31.5 million Irish-American descendants.

@@anthonym3351 yeah because a lot of white Americans are, they didn't just spawn in LOL

Americans are obsessed with being Irish.

​@@anthonym3351you guys ran to America because you guys were afraid to fight 😂 they want to be us so bad they can never be😂 who the heck wants to be Irish

Amen

Having Irish ancestry doesn't make them Irish.

​@@Ciaradexy It makes them ethnically Irish. They need to study the culture, history, etc, to be truly Irish.

Ireland is European and America is not European.

@@Ciaradexy Thankfully.

Its same way how others will look at other people from different cultures based on stereotypes or how its perceived to the world, its very unfortunate how people judge things by the cover and not the content.

Im irish, i feel they are just playing up to the camera a bit and going with all th stereotypes. Irish people like americans in general. Lots of irish people go on holidays to America every year to.

To be fair, a lot of the people he asked looked like teenagers. When I was that age, we made jokes about the Irish being a bunch of alcoholics eating potatoes. We didn't mean it.

@@sean864 Yes we do go on holidays to america ..that is were i found out americans are basically assholes... the rudest most unpleasant two holidays i ever had..but just because i had a bad experience doesnt mean everyone would ..its also my perception and cultural clash ... irish people PERCIEVE americans as rude based on the cultural norms that we grow up with ..so there is that. But because we both speak english we expect people to act the same but culturally the countries are very diff with very diff values. America is very individualist and they pride themselves on independance and having opinions ireland is less indendependance based and we think its ok to rely on friends and family more and to change yourself to fit in with them is considered more polite. Americans have this idea i am what i am and people just have to accept me..in ireland that is considered rude... neither way is wrong but i think its good to understand the diffs

welcome to racism my friend.

This was filmed in DCU, a major university in Ireland so everyone in the video is at least 17.

That’s because they have to deal with Americans telling them they are Irish. Imagine you were born and raised in Ireland just for a bunch of people from Florida to show up saying “I’m Irish too”

@@Bens963 that’s not really the reason they dislike Americans. And what you say doesn’t happen as often as you think especially if you’re not in a tourist city. They just share the general opinion of all of Europeans that Americans are loud and stupid.

Yeah that's why I hate the Irish

​@@Bens963 Personally, I'd be flattered if someone was proud to have ancestors from my country. I'd be like, "Yeah, welcome to the family! The more the merrier!" Why not be happy that distant relatives from across the pond are interested in learning about the culture of their ancestors? At least they're trying to educate themselves rather than being close minded and hateful.

@@dontworrydehappy7104 because they don't say they have Irish ancestors they straight up call themselves Irish and awkwardly try to shoehorn themselves into your culture. I'm from Scotland where we get this ridiculousness too, not even joking ive had Americans try to tell me they are more Scottish than I am based on 23 and me results. If only you knew the half of it

exactly my experience in 2 weeks in dublin, cork, and kerry. and the irish were absolutely almost all lovely, lets say 90% of them...frendly , talkative, loved to chat...and we always love the irish who come to usa from ireland

Americans are fantastic. Jealousy is a real thing,

Exactly, they have a sense of humor and like to wind people up. Americans think being teased is being attacked because they take everything so seriously.

Yeah, the pool of people questioned here are the undeveloped youth who are trying too hard. I'm mortified for them, and they will be mortified in a few years when it comes back to haunt them. Such a stupid bunch of people acting too big for their boots. This is not a good representation of the majority of the country and I'm irish

@@user-sp3wd2nn3e so every person is supposed to have the same personality as you? there are some who take things seriously and some who don't. that's what makes each person different.

It’s like asking hateful racist modi Hindutvas.

Your comment reeks of stupidity, really. You might as well say that the North East Indians are not Indians at all because they look a bit Mongoloid. All of the people in the interview are Irish, of course, given that they were born and raised in Ireland.

Only on March 17th.

They’re referring to the millions of Scotch-Irish Americans who self identify as Irish When in reality the Scotch-Irish stole land from Ulster through England So imagine a bunch of people, whose ancestors stole your ancestors land, claiming their ancestry and heritage is the same as yours

@@ColeBresnehen and that's not what they're referring to. They don't like Americans who claim to be Irish because culturally they aren't Irish at all. 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

Exactly.

say that to an Irish and they would actually take it as a compliment

I'm glad you noticed that, too. It was...odd.

this feels like thinly veiled racism. ... how do you know 'most of them' aren't even irish

They’re in Ireland they’re legally Irish Is he supposed to do a DNA test for everyone and see how authentically Gaelic they are?

If an Irish-American can go on about their Irish ancestry but still understand that they’re American primarily, then you should be able to understand that a person who likewise is raised in Ireland is Irish regardless of their own ancestry

Ik 3/4

Most diverse but yet the most racial problems and hostility

The Irish weren’t considered white in America “White” is a meaningless term dictated by Germanic Protestants aka the fooking English

Nobody likes Americans this has never changed The US only has allies because of its govt’s military strength

No one likes them for valid reasons. They can try and be a stand alone nation all they want but they rely on their allies.

Absolutely. The Americans ought to cancel their trip to Ireland and go somewhere else. I heard Gaza in nice this time of year.

Because you don't have to visit America to find an American

Yes and no.

well sounds like you do...

And insults like that are the exact reason SOME Irish people hate Americans. I'm Irish and I like Americans. Your xenophobic comment only proves their point

you know you just look like jeremy stephens when he called conor mcgregor a leprechaun... Nobody heard him :)

I`m Irish born and bred. I like Americans. Glad you had a good experience here!

@@RingRhino You defeated your own argument. If it’s not xenophobic, then what are you trying to justify?

@@JPFarley99 because I'm explaining to you why it's not xenophobia

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

@@user-wt9sr2me4q I have friends who are Lebanese-Americans. Here in San Antonio we used to say every Mexican restaurant was owned by Lebanese. Why would we want to spit in your face?

I'd welcome you any time, friend. Btw, Lebanese baklava is the best baklava anywhere!

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 What’s your last name? That’ll give you the answer If it ends in “son” you’re not Irish or ethnically Scottish

@@ColeBresnehen Umm, like I said "Irish- Scottish decent" - It is derived from the Gaelic Mac Dhòmhnaill (see MacDonnell). Alternatively in Ireland, it may be derived from Mac Conaill meaning 'son of Conall

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

Irish Americans are the loudest about their heritage yet cant even point to where Ireland is on the map

The Irish also fought a war not be ruled over by Britain, what point are you trying to make there?

@@laylaruan true true but we did get our independence after the war no disrespect

@@CPTBASONJRGAMING You did indeed but I bring it up more because I'm trying to make sense of that first guy's comment. I don't see the connection between the two halves of his sentence. I've only ever heard Americans bring up their independence struggle in the context of Ireland, to try and make out like that's something the two countries have in common, basically the opposite of what his point seems to be. Does he think that the Irish are British or something?

Its not the general feeling of the Irish we are very welcoming to our USA tourists and Irish Americans the bond between the 2 countries is families, most of them were not even Irish born and the others were joking teenagers.

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.

Not the Gereral mood of the Irish just alot of Joking teenagers we in general like Americans.
