Compare and contrast. I was clearly never blanketing the whole of America. It's your problem that you think I was. And it's your problem that you fought this with reverse ignorance. And it's your problem if you think today's American culture is something the Irish created.

A total of 36,495,800 Americans (more than 12% of total population) reported Irish ancestry in the 2006 American Community Survey.

Bono and the potato famine. Christ, I really do get the American style of humor now.
Sorry, getting you and your fellow Irishman mixed up in some quotes.

Surely people of Irish ancestry (as well as every other ancestry in the world) are pioneering today's culture, so no need to flash the fact that 12% of Americans claim Irish ancestry.
