It's one of the World's Great Civilizations, rather than just a country like Ireland is, it's got more historical importance and influence.
What's with the comparison?
Most countries are just countries. A few are major global influences.
I'm not sure why you have negative connotations towards your own identity. As an Indian myself, I love Celtic culture, especially revivalism of European paganism and witch-craft as an alternative sub-culture. And well, Irish people are based cuz they were anti-imperialist back then towards European colonies, have some really fascinating history with Native Ameicans, and even today, with how most ally towards Palestine. Ireland is probably one of the few countries I see in a very positive light. Oh, and Irish Coffee looks like something I'd love to try.
I don't understand why people are downvoting you, you are right!
I don't like people taking credit for something that happened in the past (they had nothing to do with it) but you are right in stating that.
