You’re right, except it’s not Anglo Saxon culture - which actually has a rich history and long traditions - but capitalism that homogenized all culture in the West (in north america specifically) and disconnected people from culture entirely.

Yet at work I have a coworker - Angel - who said he was inbred because there were “rules” that his mom had to maintain German bloodlines and as a result one of his eyes doesn’t work :jesse-wtf:

But he doesn’t claim he’s German

Im not sure if this is about ppl like me or not since my parents were pretty FOB but what do u expect Americans to do? Be loud and proud about being born and bred from one of the most cooked countries on the planet and in case of diaspora possibly a former or current political enemy and also potentially a war crimes do-er to the country their parents or grandparents are from? And what is your opinion on indigenous ppl saying they don’t belong to the USA or African americans that want to secede from the US?

  • if you were not born or raised somewhere.
  • if none of your close relatives were born and raised in that place.
  • if you have no, or only superficial, cultural connections to the place.
  • if youve never been to the place.
  • If you have no Connections to people living in the place.
  • if you do not know the language, history or politics of the place.

It’s funny, I don’t really disagree with you at all. And yet every one of these applies to me, but…I actually have a valid passport from the other country in question. I could go there tomorrow if I wanted to. So uh, yeah, the list above isn’t entirely comprehensive.

How would you define this?
