Biden is not an Irish name.

Why do politicians on that side of the Pond regard their 'Irishness' as a political promotion?

There's a reason they all left. And most of them wouldn't have a clue as to what is truly like to be Irish.

Saying all of which the chances are that Biden had ancestors from Geordieland, and should use that sort of ethnicity in his self-promotion. "Wey-hei Milwaukee, mon!"

surprised Biden would even admit to having white skin.

It's a prick's name.

Pretty sure Biden once said he was black. But he didn't carry hot sauce in his purse ... so who knows

I don't suggest you walk down the Falls Road with a purse or promoting your Irishness with American renditions of your supposed ethnicity Joe. Both sides would take it out!

Do they have Irish jokes in USA? Here in Australia being Irish is associated with not only being a drunk Paddy but also with being stupid. But in USA its all Notre Dame and Boston Strong and Sean Hannity and Bill O'Reilly.. To be Irish is to be white in USA apparently. Australia has very high population of Irish heritage but you rarely hear anyone call themselves 'Irish-Australian'. You hear 'Irish-American' all the time even though ones saying it have been in USA for generations. I have an Irish Grandmother and Im Irish-Catholic. Impressed?

You Americans made that inbred Irish UFC guy richest athlete on planet? He is the worst great white hope ever! I know of two of his fights - one vs a Muslim and one vs a black guy. Lost both..

Edit - But yeah - Irish jokes? Latest Irish invention?

And being a 'Limey' that's lived in America for sixteen years I still look forward to the first native born one that claims he/she is English-American.

'Yes, you can reply. That is why you are relatively civilised!'

No one here really cares.

I figure if you're an American CITIZEN it's ok that you're here - you're an American regardless of what you look like.

Admittedly I have a bit of style, and have passed the barrier/gates at Buckingham Palace a couple of times.

Wouldn't touch D.C. with a bargepole though!
