why are americans obsessed with their heritage?

It is neat to learn about where your ancestors came from. Sometimes there are interesting stories behind how/why they came to the U.S.A.

why are poles butthurt about being german/russian rapebabies?

Pretty much any sane person cares about their linneage. Denying its importance is the reason western europe is in decline.

Because their nationality doesn't provide them with a sufficient identity. They want to pretend they are special and different from other mutts because they are 1/43 Norwegian.

>americans obsessed with their heritage
b..but Americans have no heritage....

I've never met anyone in my entire life who claimed to be norwegian in any capacity. Mostly people who talk about this kind of thing are either italian or irish.

why are Europeans obsessed with Americans being obsessed with their heritage

simply saying, most of the immigrants came to the american continents just for blind greed or fanatic dogma.

Some of my ancestors were war refugees, but they're all dead now so I don't know their full story. I've thought about asking some questions in the general for their country/language, but I don't want to get bullied.

war refugees from where?

It's like people obsessed with being a furry or a other-kin. It makes them feel unique

Belgium. They immigrated in 1915.

There are more Americans claiming Norwegian heritage than the amount of Norwegians in Norway.

They only claim this when surveyed, Ragnar. It doesn't come up in daily conversation.

so you be sayin'
we was belgians 'n shieeeet?

No, but my father's grandfather was. Was it common for people to immigrate during German occupation?

Ragnar is more Swedish, call him Kaj-Torvald or something like that

i've heard americans say unironically "there are more swedes in america than in sweden"

Why do slavs post this meme like they don't already look like that?

Not that i'm aware of. Quite a bit fled to the UK but returned when the war was over, so it's not impossible some went to the US instead.
Keep in mind Europe was pretty much the center of the world untill WWI
