Self-disparaging with regard to etbnic background I think the Irish and First Generation Irish have no problem with self-deprecating humor and also tolerate it from others. There appears to be something of a sixth sense, however, that this group innately has. It appears to be a sort of awareness with respect to how the person who is slurring the ancestry is using the slur. That is to say; one might laugh, walk away, or knock the guy's block off. I'm sure it's a sixth sense shared by every group of relatively "pure" or narrow lineage. Slurs are slurs, but the context of the statements have to be taken into account. Fuzzy Zoeller made an unfortunate mistake, for example; but if you take the entire context of the situation I doubt his intent was to slander Tiger Woods or his ancestry. More likely he was put on the spot and...knowing the media likes his quick quips...he messed up. God knows if I had won the Masters and he told a reporter I would probably have corned beef and cabbage for my dinner that night I would have laughed my head off.
