There was one boy in my taxi who I guess was an Irish Republican extremist sometimes telling me I wasn't half-Irish because most of my family were fighting in the WWI and WWII for the British and being from a Unionist neighborhood, and he told me to go home to "England" even though I was born in Scotland and grew up with a Scottish accent for most of my life, even though one of the 1916 leaders grew up with the exact same accent and have permanent residence in Northern Ireland, he even sang Irish rebel songs that no one from the Republic of Ireland would consider singing today like "Go on home British soldiers, go on home", which dates back to sometime after 1972, He even yells "Up the RA" and claiming Patrick Pearse was his uncle even though Pearse PART-English, and this guy was nowhere near being English, He did this one time when I was reading an Easter Rising books.

Believe me, they are some people that don't acknowledge I am part-Irish, like his one lad that is so obsessed with Scotland, most other people know and acknowledge my Irish sides.
