Yesterday I was introduced to a friend of a friend and somewhere in the conversation she asked me, "What are you?" So I answered,"I'm the proud mother of three children and three grandsons and happy to be the significant other of a very nice man." "That's not what I meant. What is your ethnic background?" "Oh,you want to know where I come from. I come from Brooklyn. I'm an American."
Many people identify themselves by the country(s)of their ancestors. What I want to know is, how many generations will it take for people people born in the United States to proudly say, "I am an American?"
