Daniel Radcliffe is Irish and Jewish?
Daniel Radcliffe is allergic to nickels??
Anyone can be allergic to nickels if you throw them hard enough.
What if you attentively wrap the nickels in a nice sock & repeatedly hit someone with it?
Can that cause a reaction?
Of course, it will be equal and opposite to the hit action.
First, you take a run at La Fours with a sock full of nickels. I'd do it, but I pulled my back out humping your mom last night, NOOGE.
If he had a nickel for every time he's seen that reaction, he would be hospitalized
Everyone's allergic to nickels, if you eat enough of them
Soooo his mom is Jewish and his dad is Irish...feels like you're reeeeeeeally reaching for an "America Bad" here
That’s what happens when almost everyone in the country had ancestors who only came here in the last 200 years. The “American identity” is founded in the idea that either we or our ancestors were born somewhere else and then came here. It’s much different than someplace like the UK where so many are probably within a days walk of where one of their 10th great grandparents lived.
Nah bro. Elsewhere in the Americas people identify with the country they were born at. It’s a cultural trait. When you start justifying with fake exceptionalism is when you make it weird.
Not sure what your point is. The US is incredibly diverse, and that diversity has very modern roots (when compared to many other diverse countries). That’s not exceptionalism, that’s just demographics. It’s not a competition. Combined with large internal migrations over its history and its large size, many Americans live in cities and regions they have no historical family connection to. So when answering a question about why “Americans seem to be very obsessed with their nationality” it seemed relevant.
Oh ok, well, in the mean time, say hi to your King and the Royal Family and your other nobility by ancestry for us.
American media love a spectacle... just like how non-Americans seem to delight in watching Americans self-immolate.
No, thats not just a British protective, that all of the world.
It is well known how Americans use their ancestry, just as you described.
And yes, it's just odd, perhaps irritating (for Europeans), but it's just how they decided to (self-?) identity, let them express themselves. And it's not like they are keeping it a secret :).
Aren't you considered Jewish if your mother is Jewish?
Has a copypasta just been born?
