Born on the south side of Chicago, first in the US from my family. Recent family comes from Germany and Italy. I'm also Swedish, Israeli, English, Irish, and probably numerous other Nationalities. I have to do a background check because I may also be Polish and Norwegian.

My dad's folks came from Germany, my mom's came from Norway. It's cool to still have grandparents who can talk about the old country and speak the native tongue And it doesn't hurt my party ability to have German blood Born and raised in Madtown

Why is it that Americans always talk about their ethnic history as opposed to the country where they were born? Not hating, just curious. No other country does that. For example, my Mom has some French heritage, my old man has some English heritage, however, I don't say I'm Irish-French-English. I'm Irish, that's it.... I know U.S. is a melting-pot, but...

I may be wrong, but I'm pretty sure Umair, the thread starter, is an American citizen with Pakistani heritage. Unless you're 100% Native American, your heritage is more complex than simply "American."

"Pardon me, fair maiden, I want to know you, but I can be a bit wild, like a beast, or an uncaged animal, and I warn you I may crush you"

"American" is not such a great term either... There is South and North America, but no single country called "America". "USAian" or "United Stater" doesn't sound that good though...
United States of America We've been called Americans for how many years and now you're going to start complaining (I know you're Swedish)
<div class="quote_poster">Bahir Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">I am aware of that. Doesn't change my opinion though, and I know others feel the same.</div> Yeah I know many South Americans that are annoyed with the term. However, at the same time there is this white South African guy I know that calls himself an "African-American" to piss people off.

This is the best I can do to make it read out right. "Pardonnez-moi, jeune fille, je voudrais vous conna?tre, mais je peux ?tre un peu sauvage, comme une b?te, ou un animal en libert?, et je vous pr?viens, il se peut que je vous ?crase."
