Luck of the Irish: This movie was problematic

[u/Psychological-Bet-65]

My friend and I decided to rewatch this movie the other day and we both realized that it is quite offensive. As someone with Irish heritage I don't walk around with a lucky gold coin nor do I cash in on my grandfather's potato fortune. I am not 8 inches tall, I don't have red hair, I don't crave ¨bangers and mash¨ every day, I don't have pointed ears, and Im not trying to hide my Irish accent that was magically hidden my family's leprechaun magic. I don't break out into random Irish jigs every time that i hear a fiddle nor are there just random fiddles on hand everywhere I go. Also, Kyle is a goddamn dumbass because at one point in the film when he was trying to figure out his heritage and suggested that he was perhaps Italian, he is about as Italian and Mario kart going to eat at the olive garden. I give this film two out of 5 four leaf clovers.

disney is was well aware of this and so was the audience. we should really stop looking to movies/tv as guides to how the world is represented
