I’m French. I grew up with my parents’ English since age 5, American English. People often assume I myself live in America and grew up there. I do have citizenship there but I don’t really want to go due to recent political stuff. 😓
I am a bi transmasc as well so I’m scared.
if you’re european, nationality is an arbitrary thing measured in a distance of about 100km increments depending on dialect.
the one’s who care about this should not really care about this, and you should feel free to ignore them
Say this to an Irish person. I dare you.
“Irish blood, English heart, this I’m maaade of…”
If Morrisey can sing that and survive, I’ll be fine
Thanks ! Agreed, IDK why it’s valued so much in America. - un parisien
It’s because we are a nation of descendants of transplants from other countries, living among actual transplants. Anyone can become American. This question of your nationality and where your people came from to get here, it’s the beginning of a dance that establishes our social fabric. That’s the PR at least. These days with crazy man doing crazy things, it’s not quite how it used to be.
