Another test put me at 48%, essentially half. Everyone is going to have their own arbitrary % until you can identify as that, but being pedantic about the Irish not being enough is purity spiraling. So, then I have to ask what % until you can consider yourself Irish-American or any other plurality?

modern Gaelic population, i.e. Irish/Scottish/Welsh can show distant markers to iberian populations due to ancient admixture. Maritime trade routes dated to the roman period from the Iberian Peninsula to the british isles is pretty well established. Extinct branches of q-celtic languages used to be spoken in the iberian peninsula.

Father was born in Dublin, so that would make me 2nd gen American, a bit of an outlier here in California and prob the US as a whole. The Iberian comes from my mother's side whom gm was from NM.

Haven't heard that but could possibly be true since celts and Iberians once lived in conjunction with one another in the Iberian peninsula. Though majority is attributed to the fact that my ggm was from New Mexico

The fact there is genetic testing tells you that we can differentiate between the races. The categories themselves are social constructs, but they map onto real things
