Question for the amerikans
When you are asked about your ancestry, do you claim to be one quarter third choktay indian, irish, half french norwegian?
I say I'm entirely of English ancestry and move on.
>>57117364
I carry around a 23andme report with me in my wallet at all times.
>>57117364
No I say I'm american. If the person is specifically asking for where in Europe I came from, I'd say whatever makes up the biggest amount. Pretty sure it's the same for most Americans assuming they know where their ancestors are from
Do you have places where it says things like "you must be at least 1/16 cherokee to gamble at this casino"?
>>57117364
I am 100% pure unfiltered snownigger on both sides. That is all.
>>57117411
How big of a cunt do you have to be to say something like "my family came over on the Mayflower"
>>57117364
>When you are asked about your ancestry, do you claim to be one quarter third choktay indian, irish, half french norwegian?
no
The indian part amuses me. I don't know if you're memeing or if it really happens. There was a genetics study that found only about 2-5% of people of self-reported Euro ancestry had native DNA traces.
So people must be lying
Might also be leftist guilt about the genocide. "See? My ancestors suffered too! I'm 1/64th Mohawk!"
White guilt sm.h
>>57117441
kek. I wonder if some retard has tattooed his haplogroup
>>57117516
Statistically speaking there's millions of Americans who have ancestry from the Mayflower. It's not that rare.
>>57117516
1800's: "Good to hear good sir, a true American!"
2010's: "Wow so you're the problem huh, imperialist Anglo-Saxon oppressor!"
>>57117516
Seems cunty to you but it's very relevant to us living here in a veritable human melting pot.
Someone from Europe should understand a concept like "cultural differences", don't you think?
>>57117516
Fucking this. I my state if Massachusetts, or liberal cunt of a senator Elizabeth Warren, the whitest bitch to ever exist, got accepted in to Harvard because she said she was 1/30th Native American.
>>57117516
Does it really upset you? It's just an interesting trivia that they want to share with you.
>>57117676
I hate Warren to no end.
>>57117364
I live in America, yes, but I am full blooded Czech and was born there. Yet people still think I am "American" just because I moved here at a young age.
>>57117364
If people try to talk to me I fire a warning shot into the ground to scare them off.
>>57117774
Niesi čech
>>57117572
It wouldn't surprise me but it shuts everyone up instantly.
Muuuh heritage
WE WUZ VIKINS
>>57117677
Not upset, its like saying your ancestors came over on that one viking boat in that one museum
Pointless
>>57117364
No not really. My family came from Germany so i usually identify myself with Germans, since we're essentially the same people
>>57118032
The Pilgrims are exaggerated by both north Americans and foreigners honestly. People assume "Americans" descend from them or their puritain values
The biggest colonies were further south, like in Virginia and the like. The Pilgrims were just a small sect that fucked themselves over with dumb religious stuff, became secular and got absorbed by the masses
>>57117364
Nope. If someone really wanted to know I'd tell them I'm completely British on my dad's side(he's from England, not an American citizen).
And my mom is also half British and half Swiss.
As for where in Britain their ancestors came from some were English, Scottish and Welsh. No Irish at all.
>>57117516
Why would that be a problem.
There are millions of people in the USA who can trace their ancestors back to the Mayflower.
>>57118032
On my paternal grandmother's side we can trace us back to Sir Henry Morgan, the pirate.
It's a cool little fact but means nothing, it's just an interesting piece of information.
Not sure why you're so recto-ravaged about people knowing where their ancestors came from. Everybody came from somewhere, and many don't even know where. So for those that do it's kinda cool.
>>57117364
I always say German because even though I have some native in me I still consider my self as full German
>>57118494
Exactly. It sounds like (to me) that they claim some blue blood bloodline.
I base this on american entertainment which ai consume every day.
>>57118740
you realize that you can't just pick and choose what you feel like. your ancestry isn't describing sexuality on (retarded) tumblr
"White" Americans

M8 i'm still mostly German. Its just a 12% admixture
>>57119067
don't worry, I won't talk about the 'one drop rule', so your feelings won't get hurt
>>57119106
>muh one drop
Like I said i'm still mostly German, that's the Race I identify as. I'm not going to say i'm Cherokee with only 12% of their DNA
>>57119199
nice dubs
>>57119106
One drop German and you'll be Hitler forever.
>>57118907
>American entertainment
You do realize that what they show in that shit is 100% completely inaccurate, right? Literally made by Jews
>>57119297
Funny how you guys sing about having German blood in your national anthem.
All Dutchies confirmed Hitler
>>57117364
I just reply that I'm American with Italian ancestry - I can't stand "MUH HERITAGE" bullshit.
>>57118642
Based on my memeology knowledge of Finland there are 2 heritage groups there besides the Finns, Swede-Finns on the far west coast, and Laplanders in the north
t. maybe a knower
No, I'm American
Why do americans care so much about their ancestry? Maybe I can't relate because my family has been french for so many generations but I don't take pride in having a little celtic or basque blood.
>>57119199
Americans are so cringey
>meet a middle eastern shopkeeper in the us
>ask him where he's from
>he answers i'm american with a thick accent
>tell him I understand that and ask which country he originally is from
>he gets flustered, insists he is nothing but an american, pouts until I leave
fukken americans man
>>57119556
Because being only american is boring
>Normal Americans/Canadians/Aussies from the predominant British colonist background rarely ever bring it up, even though they have the most accomplishment in terms of building Canada/USA
>People from exotic and niche backgrounds like Jewish, Kurdish, Czech, Irish or Italian will never shut up about their tiny meme diaspora
Dunno. It seems like it's the "exotic" diaspora that always cling to heritage, while the normal british imperialism background people are a silent majority
>>57119556
It's just a casual conversation topic
The only people who blow it out of the water are those who are ass mad that some American really is half something and a quarter of two other things. They have a right to state their ancestry, but for some reason it makes Europeans totally ass blasted to hear.

>>57119199
One drop rule is the norm here. Go live on the reservation.
>>57119724
I have a friend who insists that he is catalan eventhough he never set a foot in catalonia, doesn't speak catalan or even spanish.
It's kinda cringey desu
>>57119883
He is of Catalan descent. He is an American.
If you want to be sure whether he's a faggot or not, ask him if he intends to move there.
>>57119724
You are all burge eating americans
>>57119556
>Why do americans care so much about their ancestry?
Conservative people do, liberal people don't really.
The new world was founded by colonists and is pretty new. Some people find colonization interesting so they mention which "invasion group" they came with.
Also in the current climate its more and more politically incorrect to native Americans not to acknowledge "the invasion" and genocide. White people here are called immigrants (as an insult) by blacks, latinos, natives and foreigners especially when immigration debates come up. It's a nightmare trying to talk about immigration because pro-immigraiont people shut down the anti-immigration people with "Well YOU'RE an immigrant too, mr Pilgrim"
Also foreigners constantly ask us our background for some reason
like:

/int/ abhors global complexity really. Complex identity, messy ethnic borders, cultural fusions and migrations, bilingual countries. It's why all these maps appear where Austria is always annexed into Germany, Belgium is annexed by language, Ireland is always united, everything is purified into simplicity that soothes the aspergers mind. /int/ longs for a world of purely discrete and fenced cultures/genes and static nations, purified genetics, black and white ordering of citizenship, languages 'cleansed' of outside influences etc.
It's a mentality of suffering because as time goes on you're only going to get further besieged by globalization, new identities, cultural crossovers and fusions, race/ethnic mixing accelerating, mass migration and casual expatriation
>>57117495
No. A casino that bans non-natives would be incredibly stupid.
Typically just say my ancestors were mostly Irish
Why the fuck does it matter? Being shat out by a woman of a certain race who fucked a guy from another race is not a skill, it's a genetic accident. Pride should be reserved for the things you have accomplished, not what your ancestors did or who they were. If you're so proud of being 1/45th native American, put it on your fucking resume and watch as everyone cringes around you.
