Does anyone here have multi-national families? Like, your father is from A and your mother is from B. And you live in A, B, or even C.
If so, where are they from, and which culture influences you the most?
My grandmother is from Germany. I have multiple family memebers that fought for the Axis in WWII. I carry no Germanic traditions and only know a couple words in that language.
My father is African American. It's inspiring to see how my relatives evaded slavery and escaped to the North. If you want to go back further, I've traced my family's origins back to a warrior tribe in Sudan.
On a side note: being biracial has it's social advantages. I often act as a interpreter when my Caucasian friends come across ebonics. On the other hand, I'm good to walk through the more urban areas of my city. It's like being a social chameleon.
Do you know where in Germany?
I live in Germany. My father is from America, and my mother is German. I feel like I've tried to cling to the American culture as much as I can because I'm really close with my father - but I'm obviously influenced by German culture more as it's hard to escape.
"They're at the top of the world"
This humors me. Most people in America would disagree with you. America has its strengths such as military and a great overall quality in living conditions. But our culture is becoming disgusting, people have gotten used to a materialistic world but, aren't willing to work for it. A significant amount of the poor in America are there because they chose to do so. You'd think having the freedom to pursue happiness would be a beautiful thing, but it's disheartening to see what people actually do with this opportunity that others would kill for.
People here(or at least the ones I talk to) view the EU as superior and often make suggestions to be more like Europe.
"My father is African American"
Now I see why you hate me.
Why is it that people who are even 1/4 black disregard the 3/4 of there other nationality. And choose to go full black. Its because of what I said before. They want that crutch to fall back on whenever something goes wrong. I wish I had that crutch to fall back on whenever something goes bad for me. I could say its because im black. Thats why I didnt get that job. Thats why I got pulled over. Thats why I got fired. ect
Use your intelligence and prove to me I am wrong for thinking the way I do. As you see I didn't use the N word because I don't think you are a gangbanger.
