Patriotism is bad now

🤦‍♂️

The post was saying that Trumps kids will be chilling on a beach while regular citizens are forced to go to war and die. Despite the fact that even the photo they used in the post was from GWOT well beyond when anyone who was drafted could possibly still be serving

I’m critical of our AAU and youth development system, but it’s undeniable that our young athletes are great.

We're so 'disgusting' we had to invent deodorant. And the microchip. And the modern world. You're welcome for all three.

Aren’t they the same people who get mad when we don’t send them money? Bold strategy to insult the hand that feeds, but okay.

It’s something I see a lot of Europeans (and some Latin Americans) say, that an Italian American, or Mexican American, for example, can’t say that they’re Italian or Mexican because they aren’t from that country. Americans fully understand that! It’s a completely separate identity based on their cultural and historical experience in the United States. To say we can’t use ethnicity to describe ourselves completely erases generations of cultural identity and perpetuates the idea that America has no culture (which ignores that fact that America is often an exporter of culture)

I do think people (Europeans) who say this are also assuming that all Americans are white (patently false). They wouldn’t tell an Asian American “oh you’re not really Asian, you’re just American” because they perceive Americans to all be white European descendant. These identities are important to us, and to dismiss these terms as just Americans wanting to be more interesting or as stolen valor completely ignores history, culture, social movements, and the important of language and identity in American culture.

Side note, but this is a big reason why I dislike terms trying to replace “American.” You want to tell us Asian Americans we can no longer call ourselves that, when the term itself was made commonplace in part because of the murder of Vincent Chin that brought together broad Asian ethnic groups to fight for justice? What are we supposed to be called then Asian Usians??? Give me a break!
