I guess that makes sense. We have our “heritage” pushed on us from a very young age, or at least we did when I was a child. In the 4th grade we did an entire reenactment of immigrating through Ellis Island, NY in which we had to research our countries of origin, then draw from a hat to see if we died on the journey, got small pox, or any other number of things all before being “accepted into the wonderful cultural melting-pot that is the United States”.

Then we grew up and learned that all immigrants are evil and must all be deported. /s?

Regardless, my family immigrated from Ireland after having lived in County Cork for a very long time. This whole post just seems like shitting on people just to shit on people.

Sad thing to be, nonsensical thing to want to be

Well, thanks for calling me sad for a thing I’m mostly indifferent about and have no choice in, OP.
