    It’s not just him. The “I’m Irish/Italian” crowd is a widely known-about American thing.

    I didn’t mean to offend you. Relax. I never said all Americans do it, you don’t need to come up with some reactionary strawman just because you took my comment to heart.

      America is a lot of people from different places settling in one continent. lots of people care about what their family history is. I’m not sure what’s weird about that.

      there’s a lot of people with bloodlines from different parts of the world in every country. it means something to some people. not everyone, but quite a few.

      that particular phenomenon is everywhere.
