I'm a CBC and just like si0001 and Jimbo it is just a matter of having a common ground. Especially if you are a new In town, you want to have someone to relate to or have someone to help you with understanding how things are done here.
It's not to say that they aren't interested in making new friends with other people either. So you shouldn't read too much into it.
It's also because we're racist.
How about those Americans that still refer to themselves as Irish after 4 generations in the US?
I made a thread called the BBW meetup (British Born Whites meetup) as an experiment to see how the forum would tolerate it and the mods deleted it within about 2 minutes, I kid you not.
thats fine, and I understand being proud of one's heritage. But I have yet to see Irish American expats specifically seeking out other Irish Anericans when moving abroad
to be clear I don't think anyone is racist, I'm not that PC of a person. But I do think seeking out people to meet based on ethnicity could have a racist element to it.
