As an actual Irish person I have to say that I don't know anyone that thinks the celebrations in the states are disrepectful. We don't take ourselves as seriously as Americans do, so we can have fun with a bit of parody and mockery. However, if the situation was reversed, I would find it hard to believe an American in Ireland would be offended if we celebrated independence day with big Uncle Sam hats and American flags. Many things certainly are racist, but of all things, celebrating a (my) country's national holiday is not.
