Learn something about Irish people. Just because you found out you may be mix, so what. America is the mixing bowl. There is no such thing as a bad race, just bad people in every race.
You don't feel different all of a sudden or act and look different all of a sudden, its who you are. Learning about Irish culture and rituals may be a lot of fun and excitement to you. Just because your Irish doesn't mean that you and other Irish people share the same behavior, eating, drinking, or religion habits. You just share some facial, skin tone, hair or eye color but what they do, do not defines you.

Being Irish is great---you can drink a lot, cry at the drop of a hat, fight real good, be happy-go-lucky, wear green clothes once a year and blame your problems on the Leprechauns.Always after me Lucky Charms.....
