I BUT being a person born overseas it's very "strange" to me that people refers themselves as Italian, English, French, German when they were born in the USA. To ME, you are all Americans.
Just curious--where are you from & how long have you lived here?
It's pretty much an American tradition to identify with your ancestry, because we are a nation of immigrants. It's especially common in diverse, immigrant heavy areas like NY.
Anna explained it well---outside of the US, of course we are Americans, but here, there are obvious differences in culture (to different degrees), which is why people differentiate.
Honestly I am tired of having to justify my answer. It was MY OPINION and I am sticking to it. I meant nothing hurtful. It was not disrespectul in any way and not mean. I already explained myself, I thought, very clearly on how I found the concept interesting. That was my point of view. I did not attack anyone.
Where I come from and how long I have lived here are TOTALLY irrelevant. And no, I did not just come off the boat.
