I was adopted. My Dad is Italian, but I'm told my birth parents were French and Irish. Thank goodness for adoption!!
My wife is 97% Irish. (My first wife died 27 years ago. No one left in her family to get percentages from.) Me, I'm 33% Scottish; 27% Germanic Europe; 19% Irish; 16% UK (England/Wales); 4% Swedish/Danish; and some other stuff. Including being part Newfie.

No more Irish jokes either? blond jokes? fat/skinny jokes? religious jokes? The list long. Pretty soon there will be no jokes allowed...at all...

OMG, can't take a chance on possibly offending anyone...
