Eh it depends on who you are and where you’re from. Chicago and Boston have a lot of Irish heritage. Everywhere else it’s mostly just St. Patrick’s Day, aka amateur night. So it’s mostly just an excuse for the lightweights to go get drunk on shitty beer.
Seriously, who gets drunk on Miller or Budweiser? It’s like trying to run a car engine on Kool-aid.
Irish by birth. Catholic by choice. Fishtown by the grace of god.
Not me, but an actual shirt you can by in one of phillies more popular neighborhoods. Just wanna let ya know philly has plenty of irish pride, even if its mostly located in a working class now gentrified neighborhood with an American style history of racism and also a history of chart topping drug problems.

There is a population of Ireland is around 5.3 million. More than 6 million people have immigrated to the U.S. from there. Factor in kids, grandkids and such… It makes sense that there would be a number of people claiming Irish heritage. Also the number of people who find an Irish accent attractive is non-zero.
