I don’t understand number 9.

9. Descendants of ancestors from a different nation.

"If you are the descendant of an ancestor [Huh?!] from a different [i.e., foreign] nation."

My great-great-grandfather [i.e., an ancestor of mine] was from Denmark [i.e., a foreign country], so I guess my government shouldn't serve me.

Regards,

There is a strong attempt to break our nation up into tribes.

My Dad made a point of telling me that I was an American.

I was in an organization where competency didn’t matter.

What mattered is if you were of Irish descent.

It’s nice to be proud of your heritage, but discrimination based on where your ancestors are from is wrong.
