I'm sure you know, but for the benefit of Thai readers, it's an Anglo-American ethnic slur for persons of Irish descent.

To be honest, I wasn't entirely sure. I'm not Irish, I'm Scottish (Irish Grandparents) I have lived in Ireland since 2001 and I do know that "Mick" or "Paddy" are used as derogatory terms for Irish. I just wasn't sure if it was used in the same manner from an American. Now I know the intentions. Thanks for letting me know.
