here is how i look at it.....
iam american, i was born here...even though my great grand parents immigrated from Germany, Ireland, and Scottland...i dont call myself a German, Scottish, Irish American.
so in jest.. born in America = American
Born in Africa = African American.....came here illegaly...a wet black
Born in Mexico = Mexican American..Came here illegaly...a wet back
Born in germany = German American..came here illegaly..a wet Kraut
" " Ireland = Irish American....... " " " " " Drunk
" ' Scottland = Scottish American.." " " " Kilt
so there is my point.....not sure if it makes any sence, but it does to me.
and i cant belive how this thread went to hell in a hand basket so fast!
