This made me think of a time about 60 yrs ago when I asked my grandfather (first generation American - dad was from Denmark, mother from Sweden), “What are we?”
Pop did not hesitate, “We are Americans. Nothing else.”
So I asked, “Well, are we Danish-Swedish-Americans?” And he responded “Danes are in Denmark, Swedes are in Sweden, Americans are here. Nothing else. If we wanted to be considered Danish or Swedish, we would live in Denmark or Sweden.”
I learned a lot from him. I agree with Teddy Roosevelt.
