Thread Name: BS: Are we anti-Irish?
Subject: RE: BS: Are we anti-Irish?
I don't know, art...How does that make you British? Tiocfaidh asked what made you proud to be British and from your statement earlier that you were of Irish, English, French and German descent, I surmised that T was refering to the pride you had in your English/British ancestry. (Great Britain the term was used as early as 1604 as far as I can dig up. Did your family emigrate before that?). I'm sure T will answer your question later if my explanation is not satisfactory. If it is satisfactory, though, glad I could be of some use and please, carry on with the discussion.
