You could have fifty stamps in your passport from visiting Ireland and it wouldn't make you one one-thousandth of a percent Irish. Why don't you idiot yanks get that through your thick noggins already? You desperately want to identify as being part of something that you're not. To us, you're about as Irish as the Rongorongo script. We ought to make it a requirement for all Irish Americans to pass an intelligence test to call themselves Irish.

No, they don't. But expect to be called an american when you visit Ireland.
If you are an American citizen, you can call yourself Irish while in America.
