Irish-American Tribute

A tribute to Irish-Americans, the heroes, the villains, and everyone in between. Also a bit of Irish-American culture. (I'm referring to both North and South America, if you wonder why you see a few things that are not from the USA)

This is "Plastic Paddy" Heaven!-LoL

p.s. I just realized as of June 23, 2008, that there was no music for the last minute or so of the video. Sorry about that mistake in editing. Hope the images at the end are good enough to keep your interest:)

I'm Irish and I think it's a good thing that people remember their history, sure if all the paddys abroad decided they didn't care you'd get Irish criticizing them for sellin out or forgetting where they came from etc etc. The fact is you get grumpy idiots everywhere who love putting others down because it makes them feel better about themselves. I say good on you and respect to our family across the water for being proud of who you are.

@blunt1984 while i agree that its likely not all 7.2% American answers on the 1990 and 2000 census are English id be willing to bet a good chunk of them are due to inconsistency in the English numbers since American became an option .

[Deadeye012011]

@irishanto3 once again wrong German was the largest claimed in the 2000 census not Irish and i love the way you missed out that English was the 3rd largest claimed which shows your bias .

[Deadeye012011]

@blunt1984 i didnt say the 2000 census my facts come from the 1980s and 1775 census the 1775 censua show was and overwhelming english majority of 48.7% and and the 1980s census showed that English Americans made up 26% of the total population of the United States numbering at around 50 million 10 years later in the 1990 census the English number dropped from 50 million to around 30 million it was in that census that they made American an option most the american answers on the census are english

[irishanto3]

@irishanto3 oh and the great irish migration didnt start until after that census so there is even more irish than people know, it goes irish, german, italian, polish, mexican in the 2000 census u twat i win

[irishanto3]

@Deadeye012011 first there is more irish than scots irish u idiot scots irish is irish from northern ireland nearly three times that amout came from ireland and for the rest of your figures they are a load of shit there is more irish in america than any other country its fact, and irish have done the most for the usa alongside the germans, itlalians, jews and blacks english have dont very little for the usa and all the americans know it

[blunt1984]

@Deadeye012011 Actually, you have the numbers wrong.

The largest ancestries in the USA according to the 2000 Census are:

German (15.2%)

Irish  (10.8%)

African (8.8%)

English (8.7%)

There is also no proof that the 7.2% of the U.S. population that listed their ancestry as American are all English-Americans.

[Deadeye012011]

@irishanto3 in the 1775 American census found that the colonies were made up of

English 48.7%

African 20%

Scots-Irish 7.8%

German 6.9%

Scottish 6.6%

so no it is you that are wrong why would they have changed there language when nearly half the population of the states were ethnically English ? .
