As an American I don't even know where I fit in!
I am a 1/2 bred Indian and English so where would I fit in. I am not proud of what the whites have done to so many people over here. This a question I have been asking for a long time. As a common person I can honestly say that No Americans including the Indians can really claim any roots over here. You would not believe how many of my friends feel as I do. The Commoners take all the crap from other countries and in reality we are with you and NOT AGAINST you in anyway.
It does hurt to be slammed by people who don't even take the time to know us. Especially because we think as you do. There are people born in the States that I can't even understand what they are saying? There are so many types of dialects over here that is so unreal and it's from what area of the States you were born in. I have a Northern Michigan Accent and I get teased as they can't understand me either from some other State. I have always felt like I have never belonged anywhere.

I think Americans should be proud of being one of the youngest countries but still is coming up with most of the world's greatest inventions.
Feel free to thank Henry Ford for your motor vehicles, Thomas Edison for your lightbulbs, Alexander Graham Bell for your phone, and Ben Franklin for discovering electricity to make it all possible.
Oh, and George Washington Carver for inventing peanut butter. I love that stuff. Not to mention the other black American inventors who created the stop-light and open heart surgery.....
You're welcome.
edit:
to sarkozy- it was the European immigrants and the Vikings that can take credit for killing off Native Americans (I am one, btw).

What is an American? - I'm not talking about the red Indians. I mixture of Europeans? "Should the mixed Europeans be proud of the country they formed?" By the way, does America actually have culture?
