Like Indians, I have reservations.

People who are born in Ireland are Irish, people who pretend
they are Irish because their ancestors fled the potato famine
or the police, and settled in another land displacing its
indigenous people are more correctly called Americans

- when being polite.

No we screwed Native Americans no about that, (as did the French and British
and Spanish before us)
I am honest enough to admit that. However , Indians are Americans by your
definition...

I wounder is a Brit born in Hong Kong then Chinese? Pounder that...

As for Americans of Irish decent, or English decent or German decent,
we may be americans as country of birth however our ancestry and etnicity.
can be English or german or dutch Irish .....

For example I am an American with English, Welsh Danish and German
ancestors.

One last observation, it must really **** the old world off that the dregs
and cast outs of your Euoroean Society have
grown up to be Stronger, faster, Richer, freer and could have if we trully
wished stepped on you like a bug.
