I think the fact I am English has as much bearing on this opinion as being left-adjacent. My country helped form the United States, and many of us (not just leftists) are disturbed at what has happened since we were kicked out. I mean it’s a common stereotype here that Americans are dumb, fat, and racist.
Funny how this comment is being made by the same guy that accused me of being a mutt because he doesn’t think I’m as Irish as he supposedly is? Now he says he’s English. Hey, mutt, where is your dna test to prove you’re so much better than everyone, especially Americans?
I was actually born in England though. I live in England. I have an English passport. That’s what it means to be English. Being born in America with an American passport makes you, wait for it, American.
I never told you where I was born. Let’s hope you were born where you think you were born. Some people were born in other countries and carried to another country, as infants. No matter how you label a person, you can’t change their dna and the culture that has transcended through generations of a family.
I am pretty sure being born in another country, experiencing that countries education system, festivals, religions, social gatherings, material conditions, and so on counts as changing culture. This is especially true if those ancestors you guys love talking about moved over 2 or 3 or even 4 generations ago.

I’m sending this message to both of you. Please move this argument to DMs, or the mods here will give you a 3-day vacation from this community.
Are you a mod of this community?
This argument already followed me from another thread. You can check both of our history if you like.
Yes. I’m a mod. I’ve seen it all - both sides. It’s easier to give you both a warning instead of banning.
