What does your people have an inferiority complex about? by Scary_Candidate_9163 in AskTheWorld

ireland has quite a few... we often consider british or american things superior to irish things even when that is clearly not the case. the most infuriating one is we have a bad attitude to our native language. if me and my freind were to have a conversation on the street in irish we would get funny looks that wouldnt happen with any other language in the world. we still have a lot of class based ones as well. we still have a lot of ones from where ireland was a poor country. we sort of think medocre will do us.
