>They desperately need some kind of ancestry to cling to because being the part hispanic son of working class white trash in a flyover state is too grim a reality to bear
I have never understood how so many Europeans can possibly be this stupid. Perhaps you're all just completely ignorant of American history, but it's insane that so many of you think that every person in the US is white mixed with mexicans, blacks, or native americans. The native Americans were almost completely wiped out 300 years ago and most of the ones that are left live on reservations and in their own communities. There has been a huge wave of latino and hispanic immigration, but that didn't start until around 30 years ago when mass migration became a democrat political strategy. In fact, most non-white people were not even allowed to immigrate into the US until the 1950s. Speaking of which, the US had literal segregation until the same decade, meaning that non-whites were not allowed to live near white people, and interracial marriage was literally illegal. Given this history, it's incredible to me that so many of you yuros think the US is full of mixed race people.

To you, nationality is synonymous with ethnicity because at least historically, germans are german, french are french, etc. (Now you are all becoming arab). But there is no such thing as "American ethnicity" because this is a country founded by and predominantly composed, of european immigrants. There are a ton of people in the midwest with german or dutch heritage, for example. They may be first, second, or third generation Americans, but their family's traditions and culture are most likely influenced by that heritage. Some dutch family in the midwest that immigrated here in the 40s isn't going to be using pinatas for their daughter's quinceanera, but some mexican family who hopped the border a generation back down in El Paso would.
