I guess I shouldn't let it bother me, but another Lemming called me a mutt and insinuated I was trash for being Irish by dna
(lemmy.world)
All I did was mention that I was mostly Scottish and Irish by dna. I didn’t even mention being part English and Welsh, too. Another reader saw my comment and decided to call me a “mutt” for being born in America. He also tried to insinuate I was worth less than him because he says he is English by dna. It really bothers me when someone reaches out to bully a stranger online, assuming he is superior to that other user. I added a screenshot so people can see one of the supremacy comments this guy made.
I’d honestly like to meet this person and see what he looks like. I’m curious to know the face behind the supremacy act on this guy.
I lived in the Netherlands for 7 years, could speak fairly decent Dutch, and had permanent residency... I don't consider myself Dutch at all.
Likewise living in Ireland for a while didn't make you Irish
On that same note, if I were born in communist China, I would never call myself Chinese. Someone who lives in America and happens to have dna ties to China would not be corrected for stating that they are Chinese by dna. Why should that same sentiment be any different for European Americans?
What does China being communist or not have anything to do with this conservation?
Thank you for proving my point. DNA isn't nearly as important as where you grew up.
Please never use the phrase European American ever again. It's pathetic. I'm surprised you haven't claimed to be related to the British royal family, just to try and out do the other "European Americans".
You really have a high opinion of yourself and it really isn’t warranted.
Actually, I just have a really low opinion of Americans claiming to be European
