Wouldn't his warning not to get to drunk (don't be wearing a lampshade) be considerd a cultural insult to the Irish

It’s OK to insult the Irish...they’re mostly white.

From a post I made on another thread about this :

Obama joked about the free-flowing bar and warned his guests not to wear lampshades on their heads in front of the cameras.

So is that implying all Irish are drunkards ? At the MLK day celebration did he joke to security about counting the silverware before the guests left ?
