Is St Pattys day racist?

           Is St Patty's day racist? No I do not believe that this day is racist because EVERYONE celebrates it. Most people go to the parade and the bars (even children) to celebrate. It is one huge celebration and plus we have 8 times as many Irish people in America then they do in Ireland! It affects everyone in some way you may be Irish, you probably know lots of people who are I rish and somebody probably married into yuor family who is Irish! Irish people surround us just as surely as Italians do, Italians have a festival that lasts weeks why can't Irish have one day to celebrate their customs and religions? Spanish people have day of the dead and and Cinco de Maya. The Irish in our country have one day, let them celebrate without them being considered racist.
