> This is why more Irish live in America than in Ireland
This is nonsense. Are you telling me there are over 5 million 1st generation Irish people living in America? Of course the number will be significanty greater if you include descendants

Anyway, Americans consider themselves Irish/Korean/Iranian/etc down to 2nd or 3rd generation even if the original countries don't. (In fact, all white Americans think they're Irish even if they aren't because it lets them drink in more bars. That's also how America stole all the credit for inventing Halloween.)
