Ginger Irishman

by Robert Malseed
(Ireland)

My mother-in-law said that my 4-year-old son, who was having a tantrum, was "having a Paddy" which according to the English means that the Irish are unpredictable and violent. This notion that Red-Head Irish people are unpredictable and violent developed by the English, and yet Britain/England have been in more military conflicts in the world for the past 200 years than any other country. That Ireland is a neutral country which is established in the Irish Constitution. England is renown for football hooliganism. So in respect we Irish Redheads are pretty much at peace, and probably only get pi**ed off when someone says we are hot-headed because of our hair colour.
