I'm 1/3 Italian

I was at party last weekend listening to this girl rant about her ancestry; you know, 1/3 Italian, part German etc. So I ask this blonde white girl, "What's your last name?" She replies with "Richardson." "Oh, you must speak Italian, right?" "Took some classes in college, but that's about it."

These days, it seems like it's hip to be ethnic, and being a pure bred American is not good enough. If my great great great great great grandfather even knew an Italian, I'll take it. If you ever have to deal with someone in this similar situation my advise to you is to respond with what I did. "yeah, well I'm 1/500 polar bear." My friend trumped me, because he's actually 1/1000 sperm whale. That was hard to compete with.

    Considering that there is only one "pure bred American" and those would be American Indians, and there aren't many of those left, then almost everyone in this country is made up of percentages of other nationalities.

    Even people that were born in this country and possibly have ancestors that have been born in this country going back many generations, have no percentage of "pure bred American" blood in them unless they have American Indian ancestors.

    So, unless you're descended fromAmerican Indians you're not a pure bred American and like commenter #1, you lost me completely.

    The surname Richardson originated in Scotland so the blonde white girl that you presumed to be a purebred American can trace her ancestry back to Scotland.

    The part polar bear line is absolutely ridiculous and it's a shame there was no one at the party to make a fool of you for your idiotic idea that you or anyone else there is a purebred American.

    American Indians aren't even pure bred Americans. They came from Northeast Asia to North America via the Baring straits a long, long, long time ago.

    And I hate the fucking forms where they make you CHOOSE what ethnicity you are; there's always something like "Native American" so I figure since I'm American and was born here that's good enough. If they have a fill-in-the-blank space I get creative - Zoroastrian Albino Yeti for example. I hope their demographics get all skewed to fuck.

    You know what gets me annoyed sometimes with the ethnicity thing is that people who are 100% of their ethnicity, but who were born and raised in the US, dont consider themselves to be American. For instance, my best friend. While I love her to death, it annoys the hell out of me that she doesn't consider her ethnicity as American, in addition to her Polish heritage. I'm Polish too but I say I'm American, not Polish. And because I'm not 100% Polish, she always says stuff to me like, "well its a Polish thing, you wouldn't understand" or "you'd have to be 100% Polish to get that" or even "If you were 100% Polish, thats how you would do something in your family" GEEZ! Am I not as good being only 1/2 Polish? Guess I'm not as cool since I'm not 100%. Whatever. I'm proud to be an American. Whatever you are, just be happy with it and realize that no one's ethnicity is inferior to someone else's, even if they make you feel that way.
