This is an odd question, but isnt it a bit odd to try to have pride in heritage if your American?
I mean, I'm half Irish, and a bunch of other stuff in the other half, but I feel i have no right to claim that I am Irish because my parents, grandparents, and great grandparents etc were all from America. Just because Irish americans married other Irish Americans doesnt neccasarily mean to me that their children are Irish. (im using Irish only as an example, this applies to all nationalities in America). I mean, when your american you are American, whats the use of trying to have cultural pride in a country you amost likely have nothing to do with? I have never seen Ireland, scotland or france so how can I brag about having heritage in any of those places...I hope someone understands where I am coming from, or if maybe they can give me a new perspective.
