Why the fuck are people "proud" to be (insert ethnicity here)?

EB is full of norwegians


TRUE STORY

Mum met her new husband's family for the first time and they were discussing his family's heritage. Mom is a bit of a ditz. They say they're ancestors were Welsh and Hungarian, so my mom sits a minute, thinks hard on a pc way of saying welsh hungarian american whitey, and then blurts out "So you're wel-hung?" Hilarity ensues.

100% Puerto Rican. Grandparents on both sides were born in Puerto Rico. My parents were born and raised in America though (me too).

I don't brag about it or put my heritage on some pedastal. Its good to remember where you bloodlines history lies but thats about it. I also use the fact that I'm Puerto Rican to surprise people...they'll pick up on my slight accent and I'll be like "Yep, I'm Puerto Rican" and they'll be like..."what the fuck, nicca please" and I'll be like "lol"

Culturally, would you say you're more American, or more Puerto Rican?

American, definitely. I can barley speak Spanish and I don't really associate with other Puerto Ricans other than my own family members.

Do you still have any relatives back in PR?  Have you ever gone to the island for vacation or to visit a relative or something like that?

I have cousins over there (some that I've never met). My parents have been wanting to take me and my sister to PR so we both can RETURN TO DA MOTHA LAND together. My sister and parents have already gone though, I'm the only one that hasn't. I'm afraid some crazed native will hack me up with one of those machetes they hide under the engine hoods of their Toyotas.

Dude, e-mail me when you do decide to come visit the island.  We must hang out, like Gay Boy and PD.

...btw, is your sister hot?

What part of the island is your family from?  I'm from San Juan so I rarely ever go to other parts of the island.

[BlueTsunami]

Don't remember the exact places but I remember the general areas on a map. My Grandmother on my mothers side hails from the South West most region, my Grandmother on my fathers side is from the North East most region.

North East?  Maybe San Juan or Fajardo or Hato Rey or someplace like that.
