[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. I have no clear way to move to Germany or Norway, and my understanding is that it would be hard. I also speak neither language, and my family immigrated to the US too long ago to qualify for one of the programs that allows you to get citizenship based on recent ancestors.

I do actually have one Irish great-grandparent too, I don’t know if that would help.

I [b]just don’t feel like I belong in the US[/b].[/quote]

Welcome to the club! I'm a non-white immigrant's kid. There is no going back. I'm different than my cousins who still live in "the old country." They would be the first ones to tell me so. So I'm staying and fighting for my family.
Maybe you would like to go and fool around in some "white land" where you would be more accepted, but I think the existence of that land is a myth.

Me too.  I am not an immigrant, per se, but my mother is half Thai and half Cambodian and married an American GI during the Vietnam war.   I remember the first time my mother took us back to Thailand. We were 6 and my brother 8. We absolutely hated it and were scared to death of our relatives.   She has made us go back on multiple occasions and we cry when we arrive and cheer when we leave.  I feel no connection to those relatives and do not feel bad about it.  [/quote]
