[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m an immigrant and it bugs me a little when multi generational Americans claim another country as their heritage as I find that most of them don’t actually know much about that country. At this point your cultural background is American! [/quote]
If my Chinese ancestors came here in the 1800s, what is my cultural background? I'm fairly certain most people would still say my cultural background is Chinese even if my family has been here for generations.

Maybe it's different because OP can't pinpoint their background because they are a mix of many many different backgrounds.[/quote]

Don't forget to tell you what "real" or "authentic" "Chinese" food is. Orange chicken comes from somewhere and just because it isn't considered "exotic" (and Chinese means exotic), doesn't make it fake.

You can't win with these people. To them diversity and tolerance means all coloreds meet their stereotypes.

Ironically, if some people were allowed to explore "their heritage" and how "foreign" they are or how much they have assimilated, they wouldn't ask "where you are from". But again you'll find comments about how when "whites" do it, it is racist.[/quote]
