And let us just imagine for a moment that one of them sticks to just one ethnic group in his profile. What is the reality of his attachment to the alleged group? They are the few and between the cases where the mentality of the individual coincides with the mentality of the given group, and not with the mentality of America.
I remember one such American on the forum Irish-Nationalism who was literally demanding that him and other Americans were allowed in Ireland, while at the same time claiming that others [namely Spaniards] had no relation with Ireland whatsoever.
The funniest part of it is that the said individual was allegedly of mostly Polish with some Germanic descend. Or along the lines of one of those pick & mix colourful heritages.. Milesian probably remembers it better.

The whole Ireland thing started a few years ago when, evidently, the Irish were looking for more people and so began to put out feelers to Americans of Irish ancestry to re-immigrate to Ireland. It was said that anyone who could prove any Irish ancestry was OK to return. My daughter looked into this as she loves Ireland itself and the Irish but then got wrapped up in other concerns.
