Volunteering to be French is wrong.
LOL, well I prefer to think of the French side of me as the French who helped us defeat the British to attain independence, who gave us the Statue of Liberty as a token of appreciation for awakening their people to Liberty.
And most importantly I take with me the fact that my father LEFT FRANCE to LIVE AND WORK AND RAISE A FAMILY in the United States. People who think they can move and work in France or UK may find that its not much better and possibly worse than the USA if all you want is a modest life. But if you strive to achieve you will find glass ceilings in Europe such as regressive taxation and stifling regulation that discourage entrepreneurship and in some cases individual achievement. Only a few will find a better life over there - those who are truly being paid more for their abilities. Most people would be better off in the USA.
But anyway, French I am according to the French, and I still have a lot of family in France - aunts, uncles, first cousins and more extended family. But my roots are firmly American. I chose to take possession of a passport that I am legally entitled to... that’s about as far as I’ve taken the matter in the 15 odd years since I obtained it.
