To me I find these morons that go around claiming they are "Irish", "Italian", "Polish", etc..really irritating. If you and your parents were born here, then you're "American".
Why? Based on your heritage, if you want to declare yourself a Shithole-American, there's no reason why it's anyone's business.

It's actually pretty good (and unlike yours, all of the words are spelled correctly). I'd be happy to explain it to you. Slowly, of course.

The physical location is not the key point referenced but rather the cultural influence derived from the people of a certain area at one time or another.

Something like 98% German, 2% Dutch. My Grandmother's great great grandmother was from Holland, all other lines of ancestors were from Germany....
