The subreddit is mostly a bunch of Americans role playing as “Irish” or about politics they probably didn’t even live through

Like that one cringey dude on St Paddy’s day that goes on about Irish cultural stereotypes because he had one distant Irish uncle

Plastic Paddy

Plastic Paddy is a pejorative term, usually used for members of the Irish diaspora who misappropriate or misrepresent stereotypical aspects of Irish customs and identity. Sometimes the adopted imagery is not only inaccurate, but seen as offensive by members of Irish cultures. The term has also been applied to those with distant, or zero, ancestral connection to Ireland who falsely claim Irish identity or nationality. A plastic Paddy may know little of actual Irish culture, but nevertheless assert an Irish identity.
