Is it right to say America is a nation of immigrants

[Fenster]

Irish American
African American
Italian American
Mexican American
Polish American
Etc

For starters you need to stop with all that double country lark. The ancestry of Americanss is always brought up by them.

There have been American guys on this forum over the years who have called themselves Irish because their great grandfather was from Dublin, their mums and dads had never even set foot in Ireland. This was utterly bizzare to me when first talking to Americans as my own mother and family were born and bred in Ireland yet I would never call myself Irish. The Irish would piss their pants at such fakeness, as i'm born and raised in England.

I know what you mean about the little candy asses who have never even stepped foot in the land of their grandparents. There are a lot of Italian American and Irish American candy asses here who are now in their 70s and if you ask them which part of Ireland or which part of Italy their ancestors came from they are just blank faced and they say "' UHHHH, DUUUUUU, UMMMMMMM, UHHHH, I DON'T KNOW"

Stupid f****** Americans.

yet they want to fly their Irish flag and their Italian flag and watching the Irish parades and in the st. Patrick's Day parades and go to the Italian feast in Hoboken and in lower Manhattan in Jersey City and walk around with a Tony Soprano shirt on.

Fenster I on the other hand Fenster have lived four years (4) of my life in the country of Italy and I live two and a half years (2.5) of my life in Turkey. I have literally lived in The Villages that my grandparents were born in in both of those countries and I speak both of those languages proficiently.

I do not think of myself as an American most of the time but as an Armenian and as an Italian. I wish that my grandparents had never left their countries and come to this ****SHIT SHOW**** of a Nation.

So Alan don't you dare. 😂😂😂

It's even worse if you are English mate. Not only is a lot of it ancient history, a lot of it isn't even history. There are a lot of stupid people, some of my Mrs relatives for starters who despite being born in England, pretend they are Welsh as say they hate us when the footy is on etc. She has lived in Wales for years fair play to her, but when I pointed she was born in fucking Oxford she went on about 'being born in a Stable doesn't make you a horse'.

I said to her... 'Yes but if the stable is in England you are fucking English'. She didn't like it for some reason. 😁

Yep of course we are. I was always reminded of roots and ancestry and they aren't limited to the day I popped out. But I also love America that I've grown in and love the ideals the land and for the most part the grab bag of people who make it what it is. You can have the generation immigration and appreciation without looking like a total delusional dickhead too. The Irish morph we do every year is damn near blackface . I worked with a girl who went to school in the U.K for about a month and she came back with a novel size family tree convinced her ancestors were nobles? Is what you guys call them? She even brought back this annoying fake accent and called everyone darling for some odd reason.

I thought I disliked the British accent until I heard the Australian accent.

It’s funny, I see people who became American citizens after living in their home countries for 40 or more years. They are happy as hell to become an American and say it was amongst the best days in life. Then I see these trump haters who say I’m not American anymore because I don’t like trump. I tell them you were born here so you are an American. They will bring up “well it’s only my passport, state id, mailing address, birth certificate and social security number that say I’m American, besides that I’m not American. Sometimes I feel like saying that is stupid but if we are now allowed to pick gender and race I guess that is okay to. Miles, if I identify as a secondary Korean at the border of your home country will secondary Korea let me in? It’s funny these anti trump kids don’t realize any country they try to go to will call them Americans.

I don't think Americans are stupid they're confused. NOT ALL!!! NOT ALL!!!

[El Kabong]

My ancestors fought in the American Revolution sooooo doesn't really get much more American than that

Though you might be making a tongue in cheek remark, there's quite a bit of truth to that. A lot of Americans aren't taught history correctly and what they are taught about American history is all of the horrible things we've done. It's very subversive.
