    Come on dude it’s a white centric thing to make them feel more ethnic. No one else does this, even in the US. What you’re describing is locality pride so someone should be proud to be from a certain state. Not claiming relation/influence from a European country. Immigrants in the US are the first to want to call themselves American while racists refuse to accept that while saying they’re Irish or whatever the fuck.

      This is just bs. Immigrants from all over refer to themselves as hyphenated Americans. It is absolutely not just white people.

      Europeans get upset over this because they hate immigrants and immigrant culture in general, and have absolutely no understanding of it and no willingness to learn or open their minds about it.
