Recently, someone suggested that I was not Irish, which
enraged me, because I am 7/8 Irish and 1/8 Native American. I don’t know if this person said that because
of my profile picture or what, but I assure you that I am of Irish descent. Why would I make up such an ethnicity as my
heritage? If I were going to make up an
ancestry, then I could have picked English, Scottish, Welsh, Dutch, French,
German, Swiss, and many more. I cannot
go back and pick where my ancestors came from, and I am not ashamed of being
Irish or Native American. I call myself
an Opinionated Irish-American, because a friend gave me that tag line a longtime
ago.
Everything I have ever revealed about myself on this blog is
the complete truth, and perhaps I release too much out to the public, but I
assure you that all is true. Being Irish
or Native American does not define who I am, it just adds to my
personality. I’m an American first and
foremost, then Irish and Native American. I was discussing immigration the other day over at United
Irelander. UI and many others were
fearful the U.S. Government would boot out all Illegal Irish immigrants, and I
said that if the Irish were singled out like that, then I would stand and right
the wrongs of our Government. I do not
believe they will ever single out one nationality.
In addition, I have give some people the impression that I
only date and go after Irish, redheaded women, and that is slightly true, but
not 100% correct. I do love the
redheaded women and their spunk, but I follow love in whatever female form that
is. However, my family is fastidious
about what women I get in a serious relationship with, which is a nightmare for
them and me.
Finally, I know a few people that are blonde headed like me,
and they are Italian. Blonde hair is
only in
question their nationality? NO. Assuming that a person is poor or rich by the
way they dress or act is Racist, and the same can be said for assuming that a person
is one nationality, when they are of another nationality. For example, if you assume that a dark
skinned Hispanic person only speaks Spanish, and you begin speaking Spanish to
that person, then you would be Racist towards the Hispanic person.
If you learn any lesson from me, don’t assume anything about
anybody. Because I look so young and
impressionable, people assume that I’m an idiot, and that really pisses me off
to no avail. People assume that I’m
poor, because I wear blue jeans and a T-Shirt all the time, but I’m not poor at
all. There was a quote in the movie
Under Siege 2, which is my favorite quote off all-time. “Assumption is the mother of all fuck
ups”. Stick that in your peace pipe and
smoke it. LOL…
