I am a duel citizen of the U.S. and the Republic of Ireland, although I have never traveled there, and have never gotten the Irish passport. My first experience with fresh off the boat Irish people was in Boston, and I was shocked by the alcoholism, fighting, and ignorance. I had people eyeballing me as being ethnically Irish and insisting that I should give them money. I'm like I don't owe you losers anything.
