I can empathize with the attitude that says, "I'm just American, why do you have to be BLANK-American?" But then when you look at the history, the prevailing attitude was that whites were Americans and the rest were "others." The great thing about being American, though, is that you can be fully American and still have a cultural connection with another society. <br /><br />Knowing about my ancestry doesn't take away from my American-ness, it just enhances my life and gives me historical and cultural perspective.Paddy Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02154437749635184168noreply@blogger.com
