How is this an obvious fact? He was born in Ireland. Raised in Ireland. Has Irish friends. Is the only culture he knows bc it’s the only place he ever lived in. Only reason you’re saying this is bc he’s black. If he was born to white english immigrants in Ireland you wouldn’t be saying this.

I don't think you can be Irish if you're not born in Ireland. Most of European countries are ethnic states. Places like America Australia which are nations that were built by immigrants are the places where you can say that you are a national despite not being born - via immigration
Ok so if you’re born in Spain but move to Ireland at five and grow up in Ireland making it the only culture you know does that mean you’re still not Irish? If that person moved to Spain later in life they’d have more in common with Irish people his age. People here are so
Lovely! It really always pisses me off: where are you really from called a microaggression - young Irish are so widely travelled there's always a very friendly interest where people are from. You're interested because you might have travelled in their country or the country their parents were from. It's just genuine cultural friendly interest.
Tobias is a credit to both his family and Ireland. However, I was a bit confused by his response when asked about his future in Ireland. He said, 'They have good hearts, they are good people, and they're friendly and everything,' which sounded as though he didn't include himself among the Irish. Shouldn't he have said 'we' instead? It makes me wonder if he doesn't see himself as Irish. In this instance, I think he unintentionally distanced himself from the Irish people, perhaps subconsciously. Ironically, he seems to be committing the same 'microaggression' that he perceives others are guilty of.
He’s 23 and an intern! Meanwhile(I’m 21 about to be 22 in about a week), kids here in the us feel a lot of pressure for getting something full time(especially when they are doing business)
