    I never told you where I was born. Let’s hope you were born where you think you were born. Some people were born in other countries and carried to another country, as infants. No matter how you label a person, you can’t change their dna and the culture that has transcended through generations of a family.

      Also if what you say is true then according to our respective ancestry I should be pressing my boot on your neck, while eating a crumpet with butter. Would you like me to do that?

        I am also part British and Welsh. I happen to be related to British royalty. I think you should consider your mutt comment and look in the mirror. You don’t have the blood type to be calling me a mutt, or anything along the lines of a dog.

          Okay now you are just making it worse. You do understand what a mutt is right? And what pedigree is? Pedigree breading leads to inbred dogs. Mutts are almost always healthier because of their genetic diversity. Mutts just means dogs not from a specific pedigree, meaning they are often crossbred.

          Also how do you even know you are from British royalty? More importantly why would that be a good thing? The British have been oppressors in the past, which you seem to have completely missed. I understand why Americans want to be seen as Irish or Scottish. It’s because these are/were oppressed peoples and identifying with them makes you think you have moral superiority. In reality America is one of the most oppressive nations to exist, and is trying to put British history to shame. It’s a way of escaping white guilt and particularly American guilt, to avoid the fact that maybe your ancestors owned slaves, or that even now America is assisting in genocide.

      I am pretty sure being born in another country, experiencing that countries education system, festivals, religions, social gatherings, material conditions, and so on counts as changing culture. This is especially true if those ancestors you guys love talking about moved over 2 or 3 or even 4 generations ago.

        I’m sending this message to both of you. Please move this argument to DMs, or the mods here will give you a 3-day vacation from this community.

          Are you a mod of this community?

          This argument already followed me from another thread. You can check both of our history if you like.

            Yes. I’m a mod. I’ve seen it all - both sides. It’s easier to give you both a warning instead of banning.
