people who claim to be from somewhere but are really from a distant suburb

[Slathar]

if you dont live within the fucking city limits and live in a suburb 40 miles away, you arent from the city

also, if you claim to be irish (or some other stupid fucking claim to some foreign lineageto sound cool or justify your alcoholism or other psychotic behavior) but have never been to ireland, met an actual irish person, or hold an irish passport you aren't fucking irish...you're a fat american who sucks cocks at truck stops for pabst money

backstory:

i was in a graduate-level seminar when a woman ill hence forth refer to as Fat Entitled Cunt (FEC) launched into a tirade about how her german background was responsible for her hard work ethic and success which means that work ethic is somehow just inherent in some people and absent in others

FEC routinely referred to herself as german. except there was a rather small, or fucking enormous in my mind, problem. she'd been born in america, she couldn't speak german, had never been to germany, and did not hold a german passport. im guessing she doesnt know where germany is on a map.

now i know what you're thinking. but slathar, you're a genius and international mastermind, why are stupid people in your elite, top 10 graduate school? simple, FEC is a fucking university office lackey and gets to take one free class per term of her choosing.

On some truth here...

Most Germans that came to the United States were either mercenaries that raped and pillaged during the civil war, or became what we now know as the "Mid-West"

So her claim that being "German in heritage" essentially means she is a Mid-Westerner and as someone who lives in that region I can safely tell you that most women in this area over-eat and over-breed like livestock, they are fat, pretentious, and generally full of shit, and these thing amplify with age.

1) Perhaps people use the major city so that the person they're talking to has any kind of clue where they're from? If I mention that I'm from Oviedo, would you have any clue as to what state I'm even in? Now what if I said I'm from Orlando?

2) There are cultural factors that affect how a person behaves. Perhaps the German culture does value work ethic more than others. It wouldn't be hard to beat American culture of the past two decades on work ethic. There is more to this world than the narrow smallminded view you have developed.

[Tumdumm]

Honestly, if a person, doesn't know, hasn't been, hasn't seen or can't speak German/Germany (or whatever nationality they claim to be) then it is nearly impossible for any cultural factors to take hold. From the sound of what Slathar said, she was implying that her work ethic is inherited genetically (which is silly).

But even besides that, if you aren't from the country that you claim your nationality to be, then you aren't that nationality. You're born in America, you are American.

For the amount of blind patriotism that flies through this nation, it's kind of silly how many people want to introduce their international affiliations. The fact of the matter is, most people who claim they are a certain nationality, will not last in the country of their ancestors. (for example, going to Ireland and thinking they are all drunk assholes is a misconception, and most American kids just make fools of themselves)

Why would you need to speak German or live in Germany in order to be influenced by German culture? Much of the way you think is greatly influenced by your parents and family, pretty much anyone you spend much time with. If those people are from Germany, or the people they acquired their culture from where German, then they could be born in Nebraska, speaking only English, and still greatly influenced by German values.

The point I was trying to put forth is that you need to be from the country to be considered that nationality.

But to answer your question directly - I never said that you have to live in germany or speak german to be influenced by their values. However, if you were born and raised in America, it rarely matters what values your parents attempt to impart on you. Since you are surrounded by American culture, you grow up knowing American culture.

Your family might have some traditions from their past, but overall, you cannot transfer culture without living in an area or a nation that shares those cultures.

I consider myself Portuguese. I was born and currently reside in Toronto.
My family immigrated in the 60s and 70s.
My first language was Portuguese.
By 3rd grade my english was superior to my families.
I grew up in a portuguese neighbourhood with fresh off the boat people arriving daily.
I speak portuguese daily.
I try to teach portuguese to my gf, currently, she can say "Your mother smells of fish."
Portuguse and Spanish music is on my playlist.
I spent 4 months in Portugal, in 1988(Azores, all islands) and 1993(60% of the main land)
My father hires portuguse people only, portuguese soccer is on the radio, and gives days off for big matches.
Majority of my jobs consisted of mostly portuguese and italian people.
Majority of my friends from school and work are portuguese or italian, and either thier families, or they, are/were fresh off the boat, and dont speak english at home.
Weddings I go to consist of 300 portuguese people, eating bacalhau a portuguesa, while listening to bacalhau a portuguesa. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gs-DM-d2xDY
the song translates to, "I want to smell your codfish, Maria.", a big portuguese hit.
While growing up, portuguese soap operas were always on TV, was a struggle to get to watch transformers/he-man/GI joe.

The only way I could be more portuguese is if I drank more and spent time at billiards... and if my name was Joe... oh wait.. it is.

Being able to call yourself a nationality outside of that nation applies to alot of people from Toronto, it has the largest population of alot of nationalities outside of thier native country. It also applies to other large multi-cultural cities.

Listen to bacalhau a portuguesa, knowing the translation, and imagine 100+ portuguese people doing a weird 3 step, half of them drunk and singing it... often occurrence in my life. If I wasnt portuguese, that would be torture, but its not, because I am one of those 100+ people.

You said "you cannot transfer culture without living in an area or a nation that shares those cultures." which is true, but this applies to many people in large multi-cultural cities in north america.

You said "you cannot transfer culture without living in an area or a nation that shares those cultures." which is true, but this applies to many people in large multi-cultural cities in north america.

Exactly, which is why I am trying to say that most people who claim they are a certain nationality, are really not that nationality.

I'll use the irish, again. A lot of people claim that they are Irish around me. However, the only thing they THINK they share with Ireland is getting brutally wasted and St. Patrick's day (which isn't in the spirit of St. Patrick's day anyway).

So yes, people such as yourself and also many Indian people whose families stay around others who are FOB from their nation end up surrounding their children with a sort of mini india, or mini Protugal or mini whatever - but in MOST cases this is not so.

My personal feeling is that you either have to be from the nation which you claim to be from, or be constantly surrounded and have grown up with people that are from that nation in order to grow up with the culture and values.

Parents who are a couple generations ahead of their immigrant ancestors that attempt to teach you some traditions and then tell you you're Latvian doesn't really fly well. (not really sure where the punctuation was supposed to go in that sentence)

[vieirinho]

We all agree to agree then.
Irish parents, get smashed on st patricks day, and BBQ with a "kiss me im irish" shirt/apron, is not Irish unless you are surrounded by many other Irish people, including many new arrivals and celebrations/functions are Irish.
Being Irish and having Irish blood/Physical characteristics are different.

If you live 40-45 minutes or more from the "core" of a city, you arent from it.
Dont be scared to tell people where you're from, it lets us know the distance of Walmarts in your vicinity, or, if you're Canadian, Tim Hortons.

Born/Raised/Live in Canada, but I am Portuguese first, American second and Canadian a distant 3rd.
Canadians know more about Americas history/politics/pop culture then they do about Canadas.
There is nothing more to assimilate to be an American.
The only differences are how much we pay for gas, free health care, the metric system and who we pay taxes to.
