No you just didnt understand it, my point was that the british have invented all these sports but so many foreign people now play them, its really not a difficult point to grasp so im not surprised you didnt get it.

At least, that's how it seems to me.
You know, technically speaking the most american thing is anything non-american, considering that this country began though immigration, and was always a mixing pot

indeed the native americans have far more right to call themselves american. they were there much longer.
science currently believes that the human race spread out from africa, so there are no true americans.
a value judgement has to be made on how far back you have to go before you are no longer an immigrant.

I dont like being called a Nazi, I may not agree with everyone here, but that's the point we share our view's, Kestrel maybe you should stop with the name calling.

If you were born in America, and your family immigrated legally, then you are no longer an immigrant. At least, it's that or its second generation.

Isn't the whole point of the immigration process the idea that once someone immigrates to a country, they're a citizen of that country? There's no need to pass judgment over the issue.
It seems like this thread no longer has a reason to be posted in. People are just getting upset over it.
