That’s true. I’ve always seen myself as American through and through. I’m fluent in Spanish due a lot to working in heavily Hispanic areas where very little English is as spoken. I’ve known older Hispanics who get their citizenship or green card and proudly wave the American flag but their grandkids are Americanized so like you said since it’s trendy to be from another country they will display all sorts of things from another country they never even visited. I get wanting to know where your ancestors are from and learning about it but it strikes me as odd to see such loyalty to a country you’ve never stepped foot in. Even more ridiculous with black Americans and Africa. Many many generations removed
