[@Vilageidiotx] Obviously St. Patty's is a festival everyone can get into (but only Irish pubs celebrate it here, see how that works. :lol) because everyone's just drinking.

European national identity isn't race either frankly. It's heritage (which does include race for some) which can mean a great many thing ranging from national holidays (Sinterklaas) to religion (protestantism/paganism are some I can think of for the Netherlands) to food (ok, Dutch cuisine is severely lacking, but it's nice food for when you're really hungry) to something as stupid as the way Dutch people decorate their houses (you should see the old neighborhoods, old people make entire window displays).

It's also funny how these 'non-shitty immigrants' made the 'non-shitty new land' so shitty. :lol 

I don't think it's a bad thing that people are proud of where they come from (despite the fact that most Americans just make a bunch of shit up, ever looked into how many Americans are 2% Native American, 3% Swedish, 1% German, etc), simple people are proud of simple things. It just helps me set apart who I want to talk to and who not.
