ON March 17 there will be an explosion of green across the World in celebration of St Patrick’s Day.The Irish traditionally wear green on this day, as the color is associated with Ireland.
But there are others, non-Irish,who use the occasion to make jokes about the Irish.They use the stereotype(成见)of the Irish as hot-tempered(脾气暴躁的)drinkers,who love to fight and will do anything to avoid a day's work.
However, today the Irish are more often admired for their musical talent and many other abilities.It’s no accident that many of today's most popular music groups,such as singer Enya and rock band U2,are Irish born and bred.Lonely Planet readers even ranked Ireland in 2007 as the friendliest country in the world.
So where did the negative Irish stereotype come from? From the 19th century when it was a bad time to be Irish.
Ireland then was poverty-stricken and starving.Many Irish moved to the United States to escape famine, but there they had to compete---occasionally with their fists for jobs and housing with other immigrant groups,such as the Italians.It was on the US’ streets that the Irish earned their reputation for street fighting.
The stereotype of the Irish as big drinkers may be unfair, but Ireland can boast(为……自豪) its fair share of famous drinks.It was the Irish after all who created one of the world’s best-loved beers,Guinness
