A short explainer on why we all turn green on St. Patrick's Day

Weird, it is part of my culture (shoutout to County Cork!) and I still always forget to wear anything green.

I usually don’t go out ‘partying’ either because I have to work the next day. This year, who knows?

Considering that the ‘one drop rule’ still exists, I’m gonna claim every bit of my heritage that I know about;

I genuinely wish that knowledge included more than just my Irish and German ancestors, along with a smattering of info about my Native American ancestors, but that’s one of the many downsides to being biracial in the US - lots of the ‘puzzle pieces’ are missing.
