Answer:
The Irish contributed to the United States in a variety of ways. They introduced new culinary dishes such as the burrito, the taco, and lo mein noodles. They also brought with them a variety of traditional music such as polka, salsa and tribal music. Most were of the Hindu religion so new temples and philosophies were foisted upon the unassuming public. About half the Irish immigrants were actually from Italy, so the M.A.F.I.A. became notorious in the U.S.
Some famous Irish people are:
John Wilkes Booth
Fidel Castro
Ghandi
Barrack Obama (born in Paris, Ireland)
Kareem Abdul Jabbar
Barney The Dinosaur (originally an Irish Folk Hero)
