[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is visibly obvious that most of my ancestry is African, but according to 23andme, I have more Irish ancestry than my coworker with an Irish last name. Ethnicity is a slippery thing. [/quote] Yes, I think this thread has quite a few non-Americans that do not understand that many of us Americans are mixtures of lots of different ethnicities. That mixture often means our main ethnicity is just American.[/quote] I agree. I used to not understand that and, to be honest, would get annoyed when white people would shrug and say "I'm just American". However, I realize now that many of them are from families that immigrated to the US during the melting pot era when becoming a citizen meant not acculturating, but assimilating. They got homogenized. [/quote]
