It’s funny how mericans are always like ‘I’m 1/8th Irish and 2/3 German’ as if they are a breed of dog
Better than being American?
Do Canadians not do that? I'd have thought so considering Canada has had waves of settlers much like the US; but I've not met many Canadians, so I wouldn't know.
It’s not that people don’t have mixed ancestry in other countries, it’s that nobody mentions it or cares. Americans seem weirdly obsessed with it.
Fucking A we do that, and why not? It's interesting to learn peoples ancestry. It'd be strange we didn't do that.
I went through my ancestry last week with the hope I'd have something to grant me citizenship elsewhere. My dad's side went back 6 generations and I still didn't find anyone outside the US. My mother's was 5 generations before I hit Austria and Germany.
