>go mountain biking with fellow doctoral candidate
>he wipes out and yells "Scheisse"

Why do Americans do this?

If he understood you speaking in German then clearly he knows a little bit

>>60365472
What does ''connecting with heritage'' even mean and what does it accomplish?

most likely than not he was joking and you autist didn't get the joke.

You don't have to speak German to recognize it and reply that you don't speak it

hahahahahaha you are such a sperg cunt
>>
>>60365472
That's really strange.
My mother is from Nicaragua, but I don't walk around speaking any Spanish.

The way I see it if you grow up in America you're an American regardless of race or culture. It's totally pointless to even attempt to connect with your heritage. You might as well be white and start speaking Japanese on occasion.
>>
>>60366613
Good post, you sound like one of us
>>
>>60365472
Probably because kids learn swears from adults I say things my father also says. Calling someone a "fucking cocksucker" as am example. So foreign curses can c as try on a few generations I'd guess. Like all the spanish curses Latinos here use despite barely knowing any other words. Or the Terroni Americans using pronounciation for food their ancestors did and southern Italians would if they hadn't gotten fucked by Tuscan pronounciations. More importantly why do you care you sperge? It's a minor thing.

So many white people do this in the US....If your white in America there is nothing special about you....
>>
>>60366673

"Large numbers of Americans with murky family backgrounds (believed by most demographers to come from Britain, Ireland, and France) do, in fact, self-identify their ancestry as simply "American", a phenomenon that is especially common in the South."

Yea I suppose so. For them the logical progression is the Nation of Islam, self-hating blacks, who only want to be white.

No one in America is a special snow flake.

>>60365472
A lot of that heritage stuff comes from people of German ancestry tbqh.
It's just something we are taught from a young age in some families to respect. Others just take it a bit further.
It's a way to remember our ancestors, since they weren't from here.
I mean it's easy for you guys to feel connected with your ancestors when you walk the same ground they did every day. If a Polish guy lives in Britain for example, he probably identifies himself as a british pole.

Yes, this exactly.
It's most of the time going to be a bastardized version, but it's still going to happen.

I curse entirely in Russian for the most part... Not because I'm Russian or anything. It is just more fun and less vulgar to the people around me. If they ask I lie and say my family is Russian and I know a little bit so they don't think I'm retarded

Why does muh heritage trigger Europeans? I honestly dont get it.

It seems like there is some weird frustration built up on that continent towards us for no other reason than jealousy.

Is colour normal?

>>60369912
I say normal because most users use ß

>>60366232

It just means you want to be like your ancestors and it effectively accomplishes nothing unless you actually go out to learn the language and history of the country.

You'll see lots of scandiboo Americans "connecting with their heritage" by worshiping thor.
>>
They are all poor as fuck. Why do you see so many threads saying they want to come to America? It's just peasants being peasants. Fuck em all.
