I'm 1/4 Irish (Both my grandmothers are Irish), and yet I don't think of myself as Irish, but rather English. (Although I am eligible for an Irish passport, but I have no reason for one.)
Real talk. My older brother must be beta as fuck. For my 16th, we were going paint balling. His response? I can't go because 'N' doesn't want me to. (Not using real names, but N is his fiance.) Normally I have no issues with her, as she's quite reclusive, but god damn that pissed me off.
