"It's Green..." -No thanks.

Perhaps it is due to over exposure to Celtic individuals and the cultural biases that they have individually possessed that turns me off from the celebration of that culture. I've run into similar behaviour among groups other than Celts that practise this sort of Chauvinism and it still turns me off in the same way. So, here's my bit to say. I'm not responsible for the actions of entire races or ethnic subcategories thereof, I'm only responsible for myself. I feel no "white guilt" because to be quite honest my family had nothing to do with slavery in the new world, I'm only the third generation born on these shores-sorry about that. Moreover, I have little concern when it comes to the indigenous population because of the Chauvinism they have displayed toward me personally. If these cultures were anything worth applauding they would have learned to appreciate the exotic by now. The only thing I really appreciate about these Chauvanistic cultures is that by displays of symbolism so overt I know to avoid the individual who is displaying them. So go on and put up that flag; wear that kilt, give me the finger when I walk by because I'm not exactly like you, why? It saves me the time of talking to another useless bigot.
