There does seem to be a lot of german influence here.

Give, expecting nothing thereof. ------------ BoD - Come have some fun! Folks will always come and go, so enjoy them while they're meant to be in your life.
Actually the fights between germans and french. Japanese are considered the most loyal and mission devoted people.

And how about we get rid of all this crap, and you call yourselves for what you are? Instead of trying to make yourselves different, call yourselves for the Americans you are!!! Makes me sick whenever I see African-American, Japanese-American, Mexican-American. Get rid of that crap before the - and just go AMERICAN FOR CHRIST'S SAKE!!!!
I'm goddamn hispanic, my parents are from Mexico. I WASN'T FUCKING BORN IN MEXICO. HOW AM I MEXICAN? Same goes for the rest of you. Though it may be your bloodline, and your parents are from there, your ass was born here, therefore you are AMERICAN.
I like America. For its freedom and for its cleanliness. Yeah really.

Rubbish. Your place of birth means nothing. The place that you love is most important.
Sometimes you can be born here and the place you love won't take you. I know, because Mexico has very strict immigration laws. Irony.
I guess what I was trying to say is that if you are going to call yourself an American, just call yourself American. We have all these assholes like Jesse Jackson running around trying to segregate us, by trying to force these titles on us to make sure everyone knows that you are different. We know the other person is different dumbass *talking to JJ* its in the color of their goddamn skin! Why can't we all be Americans? Why can't we all be one big stew instead of a goddamn salad?
I have too much Slavic in me to be an American, but I'm not really a Ukrainian, either, so the "Ukrainian-American" combo fits me well while the other two don't.
You, on the other hand, may have spent all your life here so you do not have any additional feelings, so that is why you can just call yourself an American. I can't.

No, I love my culture and roots very much. I talk my culture, I write it, I eat it, I even live with it! Where you come from and what you are doesn't change, America is a country of immigrants. However, though my dad is Mexican, bloodline, born, and raised, he calls himself an American. No Mexican or anything around it. Just American. Its not that he refuses his heritage or his roots, its just that he loves this country and is proud to say he is an American.
Uising a hyphen just belittles the title, because being American means being a part of this country. Do we really have to put where our bloodline comes from and then American? I don't think so. I think that if you, who are from another country, are going through the hassle of becoming an American, why try to difference yourself from others by saying ???-American? If you they are curious you can say you are from so-so country, and it makes good conversation. But to me its highly offensive when others try to force me to use Mexican-American and even more so when they try and force me to call myself that. I've only been to Mexico under about 15-20 times, I've not spent even a month's worth of time there collectively. Why would I call myself that?
And I hold strong to the belief that it is seperating this country instead of uniting it. United States, seperated society. American isn't the color of your skin, its title of belonging to this country.
You are not Mexican. You are 100% American. By feel.
For me, "American" doesn't mean being in some country or a part of some country (wtf does that mean, anyway?), it's being a part of the culture, understanding it, and accepting it, or even using it. But has nothing to do with the country. I do not believe in countries. Only people.
I'm NOT 100% American, I'm just not. I will probably never be comfortable with calling myself American, that is just not the way I feel. It's not a matter of differencing or anything, it's more of a factual thing. Perhaps if I get citizenship and spend 10 more years in here I will not feel so detached but right now I can't call myself an American, I'm 50-50.
And I spent 12 years out of my 17 in Ukraine/Russia...
Well you do what is best for you. I'm more talking about the idiots running around calling themselves mexican, african, asian -americans though they've never even been to the goddamn countries.
No, generalizing. You don't get it as much in the east coast, but out here you get alot of gangsters and wannabe's that dress in clothes fit for people 10 times their size and call themselves all the ones I stated, though they've not even spent much time there, and in most cases even been to the goddamn country.

Less than a quarter of the people chanting this even know what it really means or where it originates, or why it came about. And that is the example of my own people, stuff I see and have seen daily for my entire life.
