Americans totally have more knowledge and understanding of their own culture.

Irish-Americans have very little knowledge and understanding of Irish culture

    Right, and Irish-Americans have more knowledge and understanding about Irish-American culture.

    The other poster was making it seem like American culture is homogenous or like descendants of immigrants can't still retain distinct cultural traditions and identities outside of generic American. Whether or not those traditions are the same as the original country of origin is immaterial. Nobody is claiming that it is.

    I suspect the Irish part of that description is highly misleading.

    In 2025, is Irish-American culture anything more than wearing green on "St. Pattys" day and supporting Boston Celtics?

    Yeah, it often involves being Catholic and having massive families
