[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe OP could move to a state that has a lot of people with German and Norwegian ancestors.  Minnesota maybe?

This is actually not a terrible idea -- there are parts of Minnesota where they've retained a lot of cultural traditions from "the old country" and there is a sense of community around them. You could meet people with similar familial backgrounds and maybe find things in common between your family's history and theirs. All without having to try and get a visa to live abroad and learn a new language. And if you have kids, you could raise them with more connection to your ancestry, but also as Americans since that is what you are.

This is the first concrete suggestion in this thread that I think actually addresses OP's problem in a practical way instead of yelling at her for feeling as she does. OP, think on this! I understand why you feel as you do and think it's valid, and this might be one way to address it.[/quote]

Actually, I don't think this is a good idea.  Trying to connect with people because of some common ancestry way back and because they share skin colour seems like a futile exercise.  I don't see how this would create a sense of belonging.[/quote]
