While blacks go around saying they’re African-Americans I don’t go around saying I’m Hungarian-American. I’m an American; although I could say I’m a Brooklyn-American just in keeping with that diversity nonsense.

I have no problem with people knowing and being proud of their ancestors but when you use that to set you in a position of unassailable virtue, I have a problem with it. (no, I am not saying that you are doing that! I am just waxing philosophical.)

Either be an American or be else where.

Yeah, I can be kind of harsh about it.

And as for the people who cry about how their ancestors were mistreated, get over it. Every group has been pushed around, ground down and every group has pushed around and ground down other groups at some point.

So everyone stand in a circle.

Now everybody hand the person to your left a quarter.

Ok, all ancestral debts are paid in full.

I wish it could work like that but it doesn't.
