Sorry to ask, I don’t want to seem ignorant but I really don’t get it. Like, I saw a post on someone identifying as Norwegian-American and I thought of what another commenter said that most people don’t do the stuff Americans do and how most people will see them as American. But I see many Americans strongly identify with a culture they were raised with. Is it still okay for them to do that? What’s the point?
Some communities are closer to their culture than others. I sometimes call myself Irish American but I didn’t grow up with Irish culture and know nothing about it.
l fantasize about moving to Ireland mostly because I hate America and want out, knowing that it’d be a big culture shock if I left and I may not get accepted because I’m American.
