White people: If a black man calls you racist and you're not, walk up to him, go "HA!" in his face as loud as you can, and walk away.

Wow. That is quite possibly the dumbest thing anyone has said thus far on this topic.
Hang on a second and ill see if i can find a crayon to write this in so you can understand it better.
White = race
Irish = heritage
He's PROUD of his heritage, and doesnt take "pride" just because he's white.
Do you get it now or do i have to write it on a cracker and feed it to you (no pun intended)

That's a paradox.
Irish = White.
So if you are proud to be Irish, then you are proud to be White.
If you are not proud to be White, then you are not proud to be Irish.

Can you imagine if that commercial was aired with roles reversed! The outcry there would be.

I have a question that I hope someone can answer.
Why the pride in being a specific race?
It's who you are, and it cannot be changed. You can change the way your hair is cut, you can change your political views, you can change much about yourself, but you cannot change your race.
You're not proud of who you are? We in the professional fields call that no self-esteem.

OHHH MY GODDDDDDDD
how do i get through to you
*sigh*
He's proud to be Irish. Not white. This is not saying he's ashamed that he's white. What he's saying is that "yeah im white, so what? IM IRISH"
and why? Because there are other white heritages that he's not proud of. My guess would be the same heritage that enslaved the irish people
Just because he's white doesnt mean he's proud of "white heritage"
he's proud to be irish
Bottom line

Irish doesn't mean white as you are Irish because you are born in Ireland or you immigrate in Ireland and then get the Irish status
