St. Patrick's day encourages and perpetuates the idea of whiteness and white culture. It otherizes non-whites and promotes nationalism.

I think this is just a parody.
Or a Pare O’dee ?
It’s about the IRISH for God’s sake! Anybody with HALF a brain knows the IRISH are NOT WHITE. They’re barely human.
Dear Twitters staff: P’ogg mahoinn!

Because the IRISH do nothing but drink and fight, is that what you’re saying?
It’s a most excellent satire.
(I think...?)
Today is a day of celebration in Irish pubs. The people celebrating are celebrating their heritage, their lines of descent & culture. That is what the Fifth Commandment is all about. That hardly says what you suggest. Nor does my piece on the Trump haters, which addresses the relationship between the PC loons, and the war on heritage, which are the basis for the Trump haters' persistent effort to undermine his effort to restore American pride.
Of course, many of the Celtic peoples are hearty drinkers--as well as quite decent fighters. They also have produced great orators & writers. Neither fact calls for special comment. My quip was intended to amuse. You apparently want to make some other point, which is not clear.
I can tell. When you start thinking about them, you lose control!
St. Patrick’s day encourages and perpetuates the idea of greenness and green culture. I baked over 100 green cupcakes and I’m still seeing green.

Phil Lynot, bassist for Thin Lizzie once asked a young lady if she had any Black Irish in her. She replied: No. To that he said: Would you like some?
I do! But, aye! ‘Tis a fine thing to ponder upon! :)

LOL thanks had a good laugh
St. Patrick wasn’t Irish. He was half english, half roman and brought to Ireland by slave traders. Does any other ethnic group in the world give such prominence to someone who isn’t from their own group?
St Patrick was the first missionary to bring the Gospel to lands beyond what the Romans had conquered. This may be what sets them off. Rather than leaving the Hibernians to themselves, the Introduction of Christianity enabled them to preserve much of what the ancients had written, saving Western civilization.
