Y’all actually know your ethnicity? I know i’m white and that’s about it.
I know i’m white
100% American.
Americans use ethnicity as a synonym for race. That’s not formally correct. Wikipedia has it thusly:
An ethnicity or ethnic group is a group of people who identify with each other on the basis of perceived shared attributes that distinguish them from other groups.
If you don’t know your ethnicity, then you don’t have one. Except you do have one. White American certainly fits the definition.
Americans love to answer the question “where are you from?” with an ingredients list.
I’m over 90% Italian, it was a very small town full of my relatives, that should pretty much explain everything without having to go into detail.
do you like sopranos?
Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in!
My family was actually apart of making the Soparanos 💀
I did one of those mail in DNA test and found out I’m like over 50% data breach
My lineage is German, Irish, and Scandanavian, but my stomach is 100% Mexican.
Americans when they find out they’re 1/823th of a footballfield finnish: “OMG I AM SO DIVERSE! AND NOW A CERTIFIED MINORITY” Americans when they try to do finnish things: “Yeah no this is fake, its not possible for anyone to survive in 230f”
How many °C is 230f? (asking for the rest of the troop)
230f is 110°C
230? Holy fuck, I’m happy to accept bitch-hood for not being able to handle that. How do you breathe?
You throw water on the oven to cool it down enough so you don’t die. You need to try it.
Is the air temperature 230f or the stove?
Why would the stove be so cold?
Idk I’m super confused. The hottest I can handle a sauna being is just below 200, and not for long enough to really enjoy it. 185 is my sweet spot
My family prefers 110c but i prefer around 90c as i want to relax and not tryhard.
Eight hundred twenty threeth.
I’m 25% Finnish (Grandmother)
I enjoy saunas
Is 25% enough to enjoy other Finnish things?
Does your sau a have a carpet
Is this a thing?
Basing your preferred genetic heritage on how much you like a TV show. Smh.
American Italians have embraced the pop culture caricature of themselves and become it.

Without the edit this post would have been perfect 😂
Americans are all saying they’re proud of their country and then say shit like this unironically.
Makes sense though because in America, everyone is American regardless of background, race, etc etc etc so people, in their search for ways to differentiate themselves from others, latch on to their heritage.

Except if you moved here recently, of course. We can’t have that.
Ironically America has incredible diversity within its borders. The average west coaster, northeasterner, Bible belter, and Midwesterner are completely foreign to each other. Plus a religious obsession with sports is another way we tribalize.
Me after I found out I’m 1% South American
I think that one is Mesoamerican
Oh how careless of me. Here. I think this one is more accurate.
There we go!
BOOm BABY!
My brother got a DNA test and found we’re mostly descended from Nordic people and not Germanic/Irish as we were told as kids. So naturally, I am now a Vikings fan.
When you learn that Vikings are also Germanic:
There is no escaping it, Gustav
And the Vikings invaded the isles … so, they may still well be Germanic and Irish. Just sorta.
There’s actually weirdly little Viking DNA in the British Isles. Except maybe in Yorkshire where there’s a suspiciously high incidence of natural blondes.
*not counting the Orkneys and Shetlands.
Melfi’s hamburger would be pissed.
But genuinely, pretty tasteless. (the post in the screenshot, not necessarily Jennifer Melfi’s partner)
American with 7% Irish ancestry on the Shankill Road lecturing the locals on why they should have a united Ireland energy.
Something something shillelagh.
Had to read that twice, first time through it looked like you were saying your ancestry included Roadkill.
That’s true, I’m from Yorkshire.
If he is mostly German good chance that his Italian roots are from the Italian Alps where they speak German.
