    Makes sense though because in America, everyone is American regardless of background, race, etc etc etc so people, in their search for ways to differentiate themselves from others, latch on to their heritage.

      Except if you moved here recently, of course. We can’t have that.

      Ironically America has incredible diversity within its borders. The average west coaster, northeasterner, Bible belter, and Midwesterner are completely foreign to each other. Plus a religious obsession with sports is another way we tribalize.
