I do not understand the whole indigenous identity claiming garbage.
If I found out I was 1/32 Estonian, I would not feel the overwhelming urge to declare my estonianality, and start barracking for crap eurovision singers.
I am happy being australian, and have never identified as anything else. My first forefathers came here in 1834, from England, and the most recent was my Nan, who came from Scotland in 1913. She married a 2nd gen aussie from Irish stock, and Dad's side were Poms way back, with French coming in thanks to the revolution.
So one french, one scottish, and the rest Irish and English, makes me an Aussie.
Oui?
Och aye!
Ya godda lend claim in Scotland an' such, bro? No more tourists kissing the Blarney Stone, now... fenced off like Ayers Rock as a Sacred Site....close off Stonehenge.... bloody tourists pissing in the water holes.... no more tourists to Enniskillen/Tara where me Irish ancestors came from (part of the ancient Irish royalty)... throwing rubbish in the river... fenced off for good.... Old Germany now... well ... no more river cruises and such, look what they've done to the water... fenced off as a Sacred Site the old Rhine ... climb the Eiffel Tower? Bloody Infidels.... insulting French heritage there... guillotine 'em ....
My ancestors are German, Irish, Scottish, and one Pom... with this lovely olive skin, gotta be a Wop in there somewhere....maybe a Chink or an Indo.... not sure yet... my mother said US Indian somewhere and somehow in their travels... who knows...
