I’ve never felt the need to have someone else dictate how I should identify myself, and my identity didn't suddenly switch over in 1993; I was born this way. If anyone here is dealing with some sort of psychological hang-up, I suppose it might be you. Honestly, I couldn't care less what labels you try to pin on me, and frankly, those who get so worked up about it are likely just the Muslims themselves. So, there's that theory on complexes...😉😉
You really have it all figured out, don't you? It’s plain as day. I know you’re feeling pretty defensive about your Canadian heritage, too... So, what, you've been identifying as an American since the day you were born? Well, hey, good for you! Lucky you! If you had happened to be born just 120 years ago, you would have been classified as a Canadian without a second thought... But, thank goodness, someone decided to just shove all the Catholics into one group and call them Americans, and toss all the Orthodox folks into the Mexican category instead. Though, honestly, even that didn't quite work perfectly... In the States, there are over 300 Catholics who actually identify as Canadians!
So, let me ask you something... Do you actually feel comfortable when I drag you into these discussions regarding the Canadians? I know it’s probably not exactly your favorite topic... But hey, look at that! It turns out that when you start digging a hole for someone else, you end up falling right into it yourself! It really isn't right to provoke people based on their nationality or to try and deny their identity... because, believe me, you might just find yourself stuck in that very same position one day. I just wanted to give you a little taste of how it feels... 😉
