annual tradition going back over 50 years in Chicago
David Harris
>The Chicago River has been dyed green on St. Patrick's Day, March 17th every year since 1962.
Easton Torres
Camden Watson
it is a BIG deal here, the Downtown parade, the dying of the river, the Irish American Heritage center festival AND the south side Irish parade which had to be canceled at one point because of the drunkenness
Grayson Gray
>Because of drunkeness
Truly the most cucked nation
Hunter Scott
its a neighborhood parade that had morphed into a bar crawl with 300,000 drunks pissing and puking everywhere
Sebastian Lee
Americans need to be exterminated ASAP, their disgusting "culture" is spreading here too
Camden Nguyen
yanks are the worst
John Sanchez
Wonder if there is enough Irish blood in that pic to fill a mug.
David Nelson
Absolutely disgusting
Jason Wood
>Anglos send a whole bunch of Irish to the new world to be slaves
>LIKE OMG I CAN'T BELIEVE THEY CELEBRATE IRISH HERITAGE
Sebastian Adams
I fucking hate Sup Forumstards who think they are still connected to any European country.
Dylan Brooks
why are they dressed like scotsmen
Liam James
Yeah, they cracked down on the boozing
Jack Morales
>my grandmother lived in Ireland as a kid
>that makes me Irish! Top o the mornin to ya!
Dominic Hill
Marching bands are a big part of the parade
Sebastian Wilson
Truly the triumph of Hibernian man, casting down the filthy A*glo back into the mud where it belongs and taking America for himself
Colton Williams
Yea
Because American corporate culture is much better to assimilate to
Justin Foster
i reiterate
why are they dressed like scotsmen?
Parker Adams
>white people in America just materialized out of thin air
>wtf European Americans stop larping As europeans!!!
Fucking retard
Christopher Wood
>implying inaccurate mickey mouse versions of actual european culture are not corporate too
Daniel Lewis
i feel irish from republic of ireland is not similar to irish american but britsh
Christian Sullivan
How man Chicago citizens have irish ancestry? Most of the people living there are nogs
Justin Flores
why not LARP as early african humans while you're at it then?
Samuel Collins
irish won't admit it but basically they're basically just like people from a different region of the UK
Aiden Jenkins
Honestly, I don't know, I was hoping someone else would answer
Isaac Cruz
I don’t know what to say
Levi Brooks
I feel like it will die out in this generation. So few Irish Americans remain. They are all literally 1/16 at this stage
Oliver Flores
We're virtually identical.
Christian Young
>Be irish american
>dress up as a scotsmen to celebrate your hurrtage
Jayden Turner
It's sort of become an excuse to party/socialize at this point...just like gringos celebrate Cinco De mayo now
Sebastian Ortiz
lochcarron.co.uk
This offers some explanation perhaps
Elijah Wright
How can this be healthy?
Josiah Green
What are they even using to dye the water? Like, food colouring?
Blake Murphy
hmmmmmm
Easton Watson
>LARP as early african humans
>LARP
Adrian White
how do they dye the river? isn't it toxic to the waters?
Jaxon Lee
They've probably got more English and German blood in them than Irish.
Jaxson Morris
It's powdered vegetable dye, the EPA banned any real dyes for health/safety reasons.
Levi Kelly
last time i checked Polish was the 3rd most spoken language in the city, but the last time i lived there was 7 years ago
Jeremiah Adams
absolutely iit is definitely toxic and not safe
Jayden Jones
If this doesn't seem ecologically friendly now even thought they must use some eco approved colorant by now, imagine how toxic that shit was in 1962
Nathaniel White
They use it as an excuse to drink, like every single other holiday, event, gathering, sporting event, etc.
Nation of alcoholics finding and excuse to pretend they aren't.
Nathan Torres
That's exactly what I was thinking. I wouldn't risk that even now.
Grayson Martinez
>LARP
>LARP
Gabriel Wood
ship some americans to ireland and have them interbreed. that should fix the problem
Camden Howard
Land of the free
Isaac Lee
what? breed with all the muslims and africans here now?
Christopher Williams
>European Americans
C R I N G E
Juan Mitchell
Because Americans are ignorant. Most people in Chicago couldn't point to Ireland on a map.
James Rivera
this
somehow the only traditions kept alive in america are ones for which people have to buy a lot of things each year
Isaiah Gutierrez
It's a big day for some local taverns and restaurants, hardly some corporate scheme

Alexander Rivera
>EPA banned any real dyes for health/safety reasons.
you mean they pointlessly destroyed the jobs of hundreds of hard working god-fearing americans in the dye industry, thank god most of these EPA losers have probably already been fired over the past 15 months or so, and more to come #maga
Angel Hernandez
It's an excuse for stores to sell you plastic shit.
Juan Miller
Are irish muslim?
>likes green
Liam Fisher
Aiden Wood
Nicholas Rogers
wew lad
Jason Bell
there are more irish in america than in ireland.
kiss me i am irish. where is the lmao part
Elijah Ortiz
you're not Irish just because you have ancestry from another country
both my parents are Irish and moved here in the 80s, but that doesn't make me Irish. I'm an Australian with Irish heritage. Culturally I have very little to do with the Irish
Cameron Watson
King Richard Daley and his son Richard Daley-2 have ruled Chicago for decades. They come from the hard core Chicago south side full of the Irish lads. We are Irish. Here is him with Lord Mayor Robert Briscoe of Dublin, Ireland. Chicago is Dublin-2. Please don't piss on our heritage.
Aiden Harris
that's totally different. you don't cherish your heritage so it is quickly forgotten. over here you are being reminded of your irish roots all the time so you feel irish.
Anthony Ward
t.
Joshua Hall
nothing but superficial bullshit
if you went to ireland you'd find people there behave nothing like you
Jose Hill
el ogro de las americas....
Christian Lee
Culturally the two places are not the very different. Try comparing one of them to china or India instead.
Gavin Kelly
I'm a European American if I've grown up in both places and hold two passports
Ayden Ward
Reason why it's a big deal is because of the enormous amount of potato nigger immigrants we received. There is too many of them for the muh heritage not to be enormous. Even I'm part Irish to my shame.
Aiden Nelson
based
Christian Perez
TO BE FAIR, italian americans are worse with the muh heritage shit
muh mafia
Josiah Taylor
>be mutterican
>unironically be proud to be part irish and/or italian
Michael Campbell
you 2 are mentally ill. white americans have more in common with black americans than any european country
Hudson Harris
I think it's fun
Stop bullying
Asher Gray
How do we stop the irish takeover?
Adrian Sanders
who /Niall/ here
Jonathan Myers
What both places? Europe isn't a country
Andrew Ramirez
dear yanks
are their marches as awful as the order's?
Gabriel Murphy
I thought your people were in favour of poisoning the water supply
Jace Rivera
Do you guys not find it a bit weird that the Germans and Irish were absolutely hated not even a century ago, and now most white Americans celebrate German and Irish culture weirdly
Jacob Phillips
>kilts
>sporrans
>kilt hose
>bagpipes
>Irish tricolour, not even a St Patrick's cross
David Harris
This isn't because Chicago thinks we're Irish, it's just a fun way to celebrate St. Patrick's day (which is just an excuse to wear green and make jokes about leprechauns). It's only nominally a nod to historical Irish immigrants. If you want to see people actually LARPing as Irish en masse, look at Boston.
Bentley Allen
It's fucking bizarre because so many people claiming to be German/Irish are actually British (mostly English) but have like one Irish or German grandparent. For some reason in the 80s/90s they decided to stop identifying as ethnically British.
