But besides paying respects to the saint in church or in a local pub, there’s also another way of celebrating and that is with memes.

The fish be like “every single time this EXACT day those dumbasses decide to color our environment GREEN. FOR THIER ENTERTAINMENT!!!!!! I THOUGH THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO TAKE CARE OF US.” “Take a chill pill Greg.”
That's exactly what they're like. I have ancestors who came from Ireland...almost 300 years ago. That doesn't make me Irish.
want to learn how I changed my diet 3 times in 1 week it all started when.......
That's kind of a weird shirt anyways. Yup, I'll just change to Irish!
"Real Irish don't even celebrate St Patrick's Day" Says who?! Oh wow, I guess the massive St Patrick's Day event with music, costumes and amusement rides in the main street of my Irish home town in actual Ireland that I walked through an hour ago doesn't exist then. :/
Leprechauns playing tricks on your mind for shits and giggles because Thier all a bunch of little pricks nothing at all like what you see in the lucky charms commercials

My U.S. state had a large Irish immigrant population (I mean proportionately) so there's a lot of Irish Heritage stuff and a Huge St Patrick's day celebration in one of the smaller cities. About 40k people live there and around 30k people show up to celebrate. It's madness. Im waaay too old to be day drunk out in 20F weather but I do loved corned beef and cabbage or pasties.
True native Irishmen don't celebrate st Patrick's day... There are no snakes native to Ireland... So the snakes he drove out where the pagans. St Patrick murdered pagans. The more you know
I am literally so confused, the only slightly similar thing I can think of is Irish people making fun of Americans being generally cringe in saying they're Irish (not me, mostly on tiktok), can someone explain please??? I mean yeah, we have parades and s**t
Quite a lot of Americans are descendant from Irish emigrants, many people left Ireland to go to America in the potato famine. However these people are mostly descendants and I'm not really sure that once it's that far back you can call yourself Irish if it was many generations ago. St. Patricks Day is basically the only thing most Americans know about Ireland the country or Irish culture. Hope that helped!🇮🇪

Hmmmm, making fun of the 17th of March and it's my birthday too. I'm off, gotta have me some cake ;). .........EDIT: Aw thanks to everybody here!
Some call it Paddy's day for short but absolutely nobody in Ireland calls it "St. Patty's".
Reading this, I came to the unfortunate conclusion Ireland is known for green beer and kiss me I'm Irish shirts, which I've never seen apart from gift shops. Honeslty, I didn't know we were AS associated with alcohol XD
It's pretty much a giant drunk fest in the US along with places serving corned beef and cabbage. In my state Irish Immigrants became miners, especially of copper and were involved in pushing for workers rights. So our biggest state St Patrick's Day celebration is in a mining town/city. There's a pretty huge parade and basically people start drinking at 11am. Edit to add. The school kids wear green and the fast food restaurants have green mint milkshakes. I will also always associate pistachio pudding with the day because we made it most years in grade school to celebrate when I was growing up.

Just as I read this, the episode of a show I was watching was set on St Patrick's day! I love coincidences!
A lot of Americans drink on every holiday, like St. Patrick's Day and Cinco De Mayo, even if they are not Irish, Irish Catholic or even Mexican. Any excuse to be a raging alcoholic in public.
i didnt realize what day it was before i got to school and i wasnt wearing any green- i had to legit write "HELLO IM GREEN" on my hand in green sharpie.
As far as this post goes, I found it more lighthearted humor than a direct attack on a group of people. And as a person who identifies with 3 of the 4 groups you mentioned, if it was done with the same lighthearted good natured humor, I really wouldn't mind. Relax, have some green beer.
