Well said!

Totally agree with everything you said. I am a Brazilian, because I am from Brazil. I don't call myself a Spaniard because my great great great grandmother comes from Spain, or Portuguese because my great grandfather came from Portugal. I love both countries, but I hold no allegiance to them. Also, I would love for somebody to order me a pizza. Finally, if my parents came uninvited and expected dinner, me within the hour (depending upon how long it takes her to strangle me to death first). If her mother came uninvited for dinner, I would be very upset too. Who does that?

They invited themselves to dinner. Who does that? I have been married 34 years, my mother in law would never just drop in and expect dinner.

I think second generation can still call themselves whatever country their parents are from, providing they have a strong culture of it at home. I'm half Danish, but aside from some Danish food preferences I'm very Swedish and I identify as such. Of course the difference between Swedish and Danish is only important to us Scandinavians.

I don't disagree with you, but the fact that his parents called her American would imply that they themselves aren't

Many of the "Italian origin" Americans, when they actually come in Italy for vacation, don't have an effing clue about the actual Italian culture. Especially the cuisine.

Basically Americans trying to feel offended lol

Traditions don’t die just because we’ve been here a while. I personally miss people stopping by or being able to drop in. BUT! You drop in AFTER dinner and you bring dessert! So these parents were trying to put these two on the spot.

In all actuality we are all mutts.. a lil bit of everything.. that's why I think every single person in the US should take an ancestry or 23 n me DNA test.. cause then it might just shut everyone up, people will realize we are all the same a bunch of mutts with like 20 different lineages...
