I talk a lot to a friend of mine who's parents are both Irish(thick accents to boot) and he has a very Irish name. But he was born here in merry old Blighty and doesn't consider himself an Irishman because he was born here and has lived here his entire life. This made me wonder why people consider themselves Irish-American or Italian-American or Latino, when they really are not, and the only strain of non-American was 2-4 generations ago. I don't buy the 'a potato grown in a tomato field is still a potato' shit. Is it just people trying to be part of a community? Is it just trying to be different? Or do people just want to be associated with their passport nationality? I just don't get it, please 'educate' me.
