It didn't come off as self-deprecating at all, although I see that he had a grandmother from Ireland (unclear if she was ethnically Irish or English)

How could it possibly be self-deprecating if he was specifically shitting on "Irish women"?

It is if he would describe a member of his own family this way, which I'm betting he would. He was rather famously described as a "tough Irishman" by his longtime friend, biologist Mark Ptashne.

I'm surprised he identified as such. Dude is from Chicago but talks like someone from England.
