And that is true as well. And nah, I just call myself typical since few if any people are totally one ethnic group. I am okay with being proud of ethnic background because of culture but I would never use it as rationale to say I’m better than someone or act like I know better about the situations in those country than a native. Having studied in Ireland, I know that the Irish appreciate Americans interest in their Irish roots but they don’t like them talking about The Troubles for example especially like they’re actually Irish.

I have always enjoyed people who were proud of some aspect of their ethnic background and who tried to live it. You get to learn and trade practices, as well as getting to know some other culture through something other than book learning.
