Yes, and anyone can pull out the old heritage card to claim offense at this or that comment. Pat McGroin, having never been to Ireland, probably barely able to find it on a map, grew up in Bethedsa, MD, but considers himself Irish and takes great offense at anything other than gushing praise for the nationality.
