But why the anti-Irish sentiment? You could be pretend to be a real Irishman (you're currently a real Englishman and before you were a real Frenchman, Dutch, Scot, etc.) and it won't take away from your 'overarching theme'?

Perhaps he is planning the real Irish routine for the next time around. Anti-Irish right now will throw people off the scent later.

Gingers have their problems too.

The issue with gingers is not with the women but instead the men. Ginger men look weird. Ginger women look attractive. Every man who marries a ginger takes the risk of having weird looking boys.

That would be a very long con. He's been anti-Irish since as far as I can remember.

He's doing an excellent job of it without trying if he got Creoda to explain himself regarding his feelings about his less valued Irish side. "I don't care what a sock has to say but let me give an explanation to you that was unnecessary...'

I was replying for the benefit of Grace, not you or the OP, who aren't interested in my identity, just trolling and playing gotcha.

Wtf does 'but more personally' even mean? I really like my Irish grandma? The OP is not exactly cunning and yet he was able to pull this out of Creoda. It's best just to keep quiet if you can easily be outwitted.

It's obvious if you're not a dimwit. I am culturally and politically more English (and Australian) than Irish, that should be obvious in my posting. By contrast, in my personal conception of myself (i.e. identity) I feel as much Irish as English, perhaps more - due to my name, looks, temperement, or even being confirmed Catholic. But ultimately I identify with both, and Australian.

Post someone who you consider weird. That is a rather vague term.

Sorry, mate, but I kind of understand the American and Australian mania to be plastic paddies, on some level, but on some other level it kind of utterly evades me. The Frenchman rendition was not because I love the frogs per se but it was rather a cynical tactical maneuver (at least at the subconscious level ):

It's similar with asians.

You a tough guy?

As far back as I can remember, I always wanted to be a gangster. To me, being a gangster was better than being President of the United States. Even before I first wandered into the cabstand for an afterschool job I knew I wanted to be a part of them. It was there that I knew that I belonged. To me, it meant being somebody in the neighborhood that was full of nobodies. They weren’t like anybody else. I mean, they did whatever they wanted. They double parked in front of a hydrant and nobody ever game them a ticket. In the summer when they played cards all night, nobody ever called the cops. Tuddy Cicero. Tuddy. Tuddy ran the cabstand in La Bella Vista Pizzeria and a few other places for his brother Paul who was the boss over everybody in the neighborhood. Paulie might have moved slow, but it was only because he didn’t have to move for anybody.

Do you look specifically Irish?

[Creoda]

No, but arguably more Irish than English.

Nobody has ever commented on that to me (being Irish or English looking), it's just my own view.
