[Admiral Yi]

I was unaware of that.

[Barrister]

I was unaware of that.

Because that picture was not taken during the national anthem.

Snopes rates this meme as false.

[Valmy]

I think anybody who saw that he was offered three NFL contracts knew it was false.

[Eddie Teach]

So Mexican-American or Nigerian-American would be fine.

[Valmy]

I don't think I have ever heard anybody call themselves 'Hispanic-American' in my entire life.

[Barrister]

I'll bet they've heard people describe themselves as Italian-American, or Polish-American, or what not.  I'm sure Syt's sisters have called themselves German-Americans at some point.

Myself, I'm proudly Ukrainian-Canadian.

[crazy canuck]

Let's not forget about the WASPs

I know I've definitely referred to myself as Irish-American at times.

Let's not forget about the WASPs

I don't think that is often used as a positive self-identifier.

I don't think that is often used as a positive self-identifier.

Really, because there is a long history of WASPs preferring WASPs.

It is a bit like calling yourself the 'establishment'. It is a bit of a pejorative term to apply to oneself un-ironically.

But hey tell me about this long history.

[Razgovory]

Oh, so you want the long history?  Okay.

[20] And all the days of Jared were nine hundred sixty and two years: and he died.
[21] And Enoch lived sixty and five years, and begat Methuselah:
[22] And Enoch walked with God after he begat Methuselah three hundred years, and begat sons and daughters:
[23] And all the days of Enoch were three hundred sixty and five years:
[24] And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him.
[25] And Methuselah lived an hundred eighty and seven years, and begat Lamech:
[26] And Methuselah lived after he begat Lamech seven hundred eighty and two years, and begat sons and daughters:
