re: #266 HappyWarrior

Yeah I did have trace amounts of Iberian in me. It just goes to show you why racial superiority is foolish. I mean don’t get me wrong. People should be proud of cultures but when it’s “I’m German and you’re not, fuck you, you’re inferior”, that’s where we have problems. I myself find myself proud of my own unique identity contributed to by thousands of unique different people along the way.

That’s how I feel. Yeah, I identify as Scottish-Irish and I’m damn proud of it - but there’s nothing inherently better about me because I have strong Celtic roots. Whoop-de-fucking-doo. For that matter, my ancestors were probably strongly persecuted in the post-Revolutionary War era (despite being from a family of war heroes), hence the eventual migration to fish country.
