I wish it were that simple. Most of us are good old fashioned American mutts, but a significant portion of the population picks only single ancestral heritages to latch onto. Like, I’ve got Irish ancestors, but I have so relatively few of them that to claim being Irish American would be misleading at best. We cosplay our favorite ethnicity once, maybe twice a year on the “appropriate” holidays, and maybe more if we’ve got cool clothing in our heritage like lederhosen and can play the concertina
Holy fuck self identify as American and identify them as American too then everyone is the fucking majority.

What if we all identify as humans?
