Q: I do, I hate the Irish-Americans. They're racists and the most closed-minded people on Earth. At least maybe in America. I refuse to celebrate the holiday of a people I hate. Irish people are vagabonds too.
A: Yes. Not because of any political controversy, but because Patrick turned the Irish away from their Pagan roots and had them accept Christianity. Now I know he saved western civilization through the monasteries, that they were the only literate people around, but still, could this not have been done anyway? to lose the Pagan rituals, rites, stories, makes for a less rich heritage. Sad.
