But... I got my Ancestry DNA results back last week and it says I'm 76% Great Britain and 16% Irish/Scottish/Wales. Ancestry DNA's definition of Great Britain is Ireland, France, Germany, Denmark, Belgium, Netherlands, Switzerland, Austria, Italy. So there's Irish overlay in my British ancestry on top of my Irish DNA? So WHAT THE FUCK?! Fine I'm white whatever.
