[quote=Anonymous]My ancestors came here from England in the 1600s. Up until my parents' generation, they tended to marry other people from the same background and stay put in New England. I get a lot of people telling me I have no culture or ethnicity because I'm not a hyphenated American. But hey, I have chowdah and Indian pudding and a set of frugal, individualistic stoic WASPs who are my people. We're neither the default Americans nor beige people without culture. Just one of the many sub-groups. I married someone from an Asian country. To that side of the family, I'm the token American--you know, apple-pie loving, too independent from family, brash and childish, too friendly, too egalitarian, too open, lazy.[/quote]
