A lot of Americans feel this need to know where their family is from between how most Americans are not Native Indian by blood or just from how SJWs claim that whites (especially white Americans) have no culture save for their homeland’s (which is obviously bull but you get the idea). It can also be fascinating to see how x ancestor arrived from y and built a new life on the continent. The genealogy industry is huge in the US for a reason.
Yeah it's the New World and a whole lot of the various Europeans who immigrated here weren't literate and didn't have the ability to keep meaningful ties back home. Indentured servants, convicts, persecuted refugees, slaves, probably lots of bastard branches, just poor as fuck, etc all came here in spades. The result is a bunch of us until very recently could only trace our family tree as far back as the ancestor that first arrived here, and after a couple of generations lots of people know very little of their heritage other than half-remembered family lore passed down orally, any or all of which could be confabulation or outright fabricated bullshit. Becky's account of being literal royalty is one of the most egregious and hilariously retarded examples of this I've ever heard (though I suppose they have the cousin-fucker tradition right), but white trash claiming to be descended from a Cherokee princess has been a trope forever.
There's actual billions of Asians and Eastern Europeans who are direct descendants of Genghis Khan but you don't hear them yapping about it, because he's so far in the past that it's meaningless.
True, but again it is the New World and as far as lots of people know their family may as well have just appeared out of nowhere in America relatively recently. The oldest families with the most well-established lineage historically tended to be the richest and most high status. People like to know where they came from, that's not weird, but many Americans still seem to carry a bit of a complex about it that you won't see in Old World populations who are more secure in their very solid and long-established ties to their culture.
Also I have to mention that as a European I Hate it when these people claim to be one of us. No offense fatty but with the life you have allowed yourself to live, you wouldn't survive a month where I live. So she can stay at her apartment order ubereats until her untimely demise and claim she is Portuguese just to add some spice to her pathetic and sad reality.
Yeah, I can see how it's pretty insulting for someone like Hamber to try and appropriate your heritage because she thinks it explains away her acanthosis nigricans which is actually a result of being a lazy, fat fuck. Generally, though, when an American says something like "I'm three sixteenths Irish" or whatever, that has a different meaning here. They don't literally mean they are trying to claim they're one of you, it's more shorthand for either "I had a distant ancestor from around there" or describes their ties to Irish-
American or Italian-
American or African-
American (etc) diaspora culture, which long ago became its own distinct thing. Granted, tons of Americans don't even really understand this distinction, but if you want to keep raking in the hundreds of billions of dollars catering to American heritage tourists, you'll have to deal with a few who are legitimately ignorant cunts. Not worth letting these people get to you, just humor the obnoxious Plastic Paddy retard for a few minutes and laugh at him behind his back later after you've taken his money.
More to the point, Hamberlynn is fat and Genghis Khan would not have sex with her.
