    Probably in the USA people stopped caring about whether or not you were Irish some time after the 1940s. In the UK anti-irish racism continued throughout the troubles well into the 90s, and there are still some English people who have stuck with the good old tradition of hating Irish people (though much less now).

      americans learned to accept the irish after a famous politician of irish extraction dedicated his life to transparency, even going so far as to show the inside of his mind to the american people.
