If America is so great, why are you all trying to claim you’re someone else?

We’re mostly mongrels in the US, even those with roots in Europe. I always thought I was 100% Polish, but discovered in the early 2000s that I had a German (possibly Prussian) great-grandmother on my father’s side. My wife is likely fully German, so our kids are more than half German but have a Polish last name.

My great grandmother once gave an Irish carny a handie in exchange for a bag of peanuts and a look at an elephants bum ,(she was weird like that!). So ya… I’m basically Irish!

You are 100% the person this post is about, and 100% American. Those are 100% of the relevant percentages.

No contradiction here, a large chunk of former Prussia is now part of Poland.

Yeah dig enough and you’ll find almost anything. I mean where should you stop, it’s genetics after all?
