British Man Is Accused Of Being Irish By An American

The OP in this tale feels that an Irish identity is being thrust upon them. They have Irish great-grand parents but they don't actually have any connection to Ireland now. Their family has lived in England for generations. They are now living with an American girl who has Irish ancestry and is proud of that fact. They told OP that they should refer to themselves as Irish too for having the same lineage. OP does not want to be introduced as Irish and thinks it's silly that the American girl is so passionate about this subject. Seems like a hot debate about heritage politics. Only you and the moral judges of Reddit can decide.
