minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink14•7 days ago Same reason why people from the United Kingdom are called ‘British’, despite Northern Ireland not being in Britain. Ireland is part of the British Isles, so you could even call people from the Republic of Ireland british (and then run away really fast).
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink1•7 days agoFor exactly those reasons at least Ireland no longer calls it the British Isles
minus-square@philthilink3•7 days agoI recommend not doing this 😂 I prefer to call the British isles “the European archipelago” :)
