Do we really consider ourselves European?

    I'm European in the sense that Ireland is geographically located in Europe. I'm Irish in that that's my state and i feel no allegiance to any train wreck European projects or Pan-European identity

    I'm Irish and European in the sense of being a citizen of the European Union and seeing other people from EU countries as common citizens.

    I'm a European who was born and raised in Germany, by German and Austrian parents, later moved to Ireland and married an Englishman.

    Why would I narrow myself down to one nationality?

    You'd need to, to get a passport.

    You are German. Do I win a prize? :p

    Just to clear up Ireland has nothing in common with USA. Just because you watched Kenan and Kel and Terminator doesn't mean you have something in common. Ireland is completely different from US. US is a nation of immigrants, Ireland is the exact opposite.

    Irish are European but if national identity is meaningless then I dunno what being European is...pointless probably. In general like has been mentioned 'Europeans' don't see themselves as European, this is an American concept really.
