irish american, father was born in ireland and grew up in belfast, and my mother is from california. 95% of americans who call themselves irish americans annoy me, as well as most irish stereotypes.

Are you Irish-American?

EDIT: Because if you were born in America, you are no more Irish-American than I, whose ancestors came here in 1850. Just because a parent was born there doesn't make you Irish-American. At least not any moreso than someone who's great-great-great grandfather was born there.
