Are You American?

As said in most of our class discussions, most people consider themselves to be partially American. They claim these other nationalities because that is where their ancestors came from. To be honest, most of the people who put another nationality in front of American has never even visited their “home town”. They don’t follow the traditions of those people, and they don’t live there, so why claim it? We claim to be these other thing because we were once told by another confused person that we are. Although some people may try to recreate their cultures from their ancestors’ native land, we still change it to fit the American ways.

Some people may also see being an American as living in America. That does play a big part. If you live in one of the Americas, and live by the American ways, you can be called an American. Most of the people who claim to be something else cant tell you the simplest thing about that countries history.

Despite the fact that there are many different types of people who live in America, we are American first. There is no point in classifying yourself because, technically, we’re all American, so we’re all the same!
