Why do american people thing irish people are always drunk and lepracan
dude I have no clue I thinks it horrible though my friend falon is form Ireland and she is the coolest person evr and she doesnt drink. I guess it's all about sterotypes and how people choose to believe them instead of actually looking at pplz for who they are. I as an american have never thought of falon as a drunk. or a leprecaun.
american are sterotypical. it shows in our politics.
just like white people will give me dirty looks if im talking loud with my friends (reagardless that they are all white) so yeah srry bout the bias though
:) :) :) :)
I think Irish people are cool and everyone should respect other people's religions and cultures and everything. We don't need no racism or anything. I love how I Irish people talk. It is so cool. Well, I don't think every Irish person drinks. Like my math teacher he has Irish descends and his people don't drink and if they do they don't drink like all the time. Like only occasionally. So yeah!!! and I gotta say, "For them haters, let them hate!!!"
It's like asking why do Irish people think all american people think the same?
You're stereotyping, just like the people you're asking about...
And to answer why it is a stereotype, I suppose because the media portrays it that way (I dont know why)
I'm american, but my heritage is both Irish & Italian.
I for one am a complete drunkie, my daily life consists of cannabis & beer .
Almost 80 % of the Irish people I meet are proud of this stereotype, and live up to it quite well ;]
...why do some Irish people think Americans stereotype Irish people as drunken leprechauns?
...totally unrelated, but if I give you another shot of whiskey, will you show me your pot of gold?
It's a stereo type just like they think all italians are loud, fat and in the mafia or British people have bad teeth and eat tea and crumpets all day long. It's all stereotypes.
hi im irish and livin in ireland i wanna say stop steriotypen bout us we are not alcoholics and there is only ten ppl in my school who av red hair
Not all americans think that way. No one I know thinks that way. I just think Irish people talk cool. Then again, I don't know all of america.
da irish can drink we are known for it and im proud of it im an irish girl and I can drink more than sum irish men
Its just ONE of the countless generalizations/stereotypes in the world.
to convince themselves they don't get drunk more often
hahah if this is true, then I must be irish ;)
ahhhhhhhhhh stop doin dat we do not get drunk
well dat just u not all irish r like dat

Because it's what the TV told them.
