[quote=Anonymous]I hear so many Americans who call themselves Irish, Scottish, German, and yet, they've never set foot in those countries. Most times, some distant ancestor may have immigrated from there. The Jersey Shore kids called themselves Italians, but only one actually spoke it or had a parent who had recently immigrated from there. Also, I'm Latina/Hispanic and either identify myself as such or as from the S. American country my parents immigrated from. I've never heard anyone call themselves Spanish -- even though I and quite a few friends and family members could obtain either Spanish or Italian citizenship. And even those don't call themselves Spanish or Italian. [/quote]
