Why are americans so obsessed with their european "heritage"?
When I was in the US, I often met americans who, upon finding out that I was danish, started telling me about how they were 1/4 danish, 1/4 dutch and half anglo or some stupid nonsensical shit like that.
Why do they do this?

How dare they have an interest in their family history.

here's your family story
>poor peasant farmers
>go to the us
>work in shitty factory
>yada yada yada
>fag who has achieved nothing in life thinks his ancestors were royals in some little european countries that he can't pronounce
>>
>>77298836
Well there is a clear difference between acknowledging your history and fantasising about being descended from royalty or some other bullshit. Only an ingrate has no interest in his own family history, even if it is mundane

I don't understand why you care. Do you think it's desirable for them to just not care at all about the past?

Not really obsessed, but interested in their past. Genealogy is interesting and your heritage must be known and preserved.
>>
>>77299013
It's true though. You're mostly from the British isles like us, but since your revolution it's not hip to be English, so you have to larp as whatever other flavour of European you share more than five percentile points of genes with.

Why do internet Europeans pretend that you dont care about that shit? you also claim that you don't use "white people" and that the white race was invented by Americans, that's a fucking lie as well.

You weirdos actually usually brighten up if you find out we have family from your country. Then come on here and ask us why we do it.

We mostly are if you combine all 4 nationalities and are going by percentages of DNA.

However, it's not uncool to have English ancestors, no one cares and the founding fathers (who were British) saw themselves as Brits, I'll especially point to Franklin's views on immigration. Additionally the Irish(part of the isles)-Americans are some of the biggest heritage fags.

They're not.

White Americans are the only group in America who actually put their civic identity above their racial identity.

See: Blacks acting as a nationwide gang to extract concessions. Mexcrement Aztec LARPers making overtures about how "DIS IS ARE LAND _PILGRIM_!", the tens of thousands of chink (taiwanese and mainlander) spies in the US and so on.
