Geez, thank you for the "I'm not Mexican, so I ain't celebrating Cinco de Mayo" sentiment.
Absolutely useless.

St Patrick's Day question

I am sure the food is much better at Cinco de Mayo.
No doubt. 
This weekend I did eat my share of corned beef & cabbage. BTW, I'm 100% Asian but can be multicultural.
I guess I'm like Peter Griffin when he decided to become a Muslim.
Cue tonight's episode of Family Guy.

Sorry, I tried to ignore stuff in this thread but there were too many things bugging me so I'm going to go into Kestra scolding mode for a minute.
You have people in this thread laying the history out for you and all you seem to manage is a virtual shrug. It doesn't matter if you're in Ireland or Illinois, try remembering that it's offensive and stop using it. I understand being ignorant but you act as if you take pride in that ignorance.
Stay classy.
It's really not appropriate to come into a thread about a holiday and revel in the fact that you didn't celebrate it and are happy about that. You don't need to celebrate it or care about it, but posting like that is annoying at best.
Fair enough. But as I don't plan to visit Ireland anytime soon, I'm gonna continue ordering my car bombs from American bartenders, and they will know exactly what I mean.
My bar even stocks extra Baileys and Jameson specifically for making Car Bombs on St. Patty's Day.

My 3/17 was completely without Irishness or St. Patrick's Day in every way (much like my family bloodline). Didn't wear or eat anything green. I quite enjoyed it.

That web-site is brilliant! I'm still not used to the use of Patty for Patrick here in Canada.
I've been to the factory in Vermont when I lived there if that counts for anything.
Your pilgrimage had been noted.
I apologize if I seemed rude, that was not my intention. Just careless.
I suppose it was just an instinctive reaction to all of that green junk taking up two or three aisles in my own store....
And I must admit that I wouldn't go for German celebrations either, even though I am of that persuasion. I really have no desire for Oktoberfest, for example. Although I'd go for a parade (German OR Irish or whatever ethnic group is putting it on) if I happened to stumble across one in New York City!

No one here is forcing you to celebrate St. Patrick's or Kwanzaa or Oktoberfest. If a thread on a holiday or occasion doesn't affect you personally, then don't post. It's as simple as that. You don't have to go out of your way to tell the whole world you don't celebrate it, which contributes nothing to the heart of the discussion.
