Don't deny your roots. Unless you're Native American....at one point or another, either your parents, grandparents, or someone further down the line came here from another country. Did they come from the Ukraine?
I was born in the U.S. as well, but when people ask me where I'm from.... obviously they're not asking if I'm from the U.S.... so I tell them my heritage.

Nah dude, I am not like you. I am not going to be disloyal and deny my country. I was born and raised in America...I am 100% American.

Thanks for not insulting me by saying you're not like me. I appreciate it. I would've been very insulted.
Anyways, you're right... because unlike you, I'm not ashamed of my roots. If you don't feel comfortable answering, I can understand. Your mom was probably a Ukrainian mail-order bride, so I wouldn't be too proud of that either.
Real American:
Nah you idiot, my mom was born in the US too. My roots are here and so are hers.
If you are embarassed to call yourself American, thats just sad.

1. So you're Native American? What tribe?
2. If I'm in America, and I'm an American citizen... and people on the street ask me "what I am"... only an idiot would say "I'm American" because I would know what they're actually trying to ask. Actually at the moment there are a lot of people who are embarassed by our country's actions, so it really wouldn't be that sad. I can say I'm American without shame, and I can also say where my roots are (where my parents/ancestors are from) without shame.... you can't... you're the sad one.

FYI.... Newsweek reiterates the theme of this story for those of you who assumed it was complete bullshit.
How Bush Blew It
Bureaucratic timidity. Bad phone lines. And a failure of imagination. Why the government was so slow to respond to catastrophe.
Sept. 19, 2005 issue - It's a standing joke among the president's top aides: who gets to deliver the bad news? Warm and hearty in public, Bush can be cold and snappish in private, and aides sometimes cringe before the displeasure of the president of the United States, or, as he is known in West Wing jargon, POTUS. The bad news on this early morning, Tuesday, Aug. 30, some 24 hours after Hurricane Katrina had ripped through New Orleans, was that the president would have to cut short his five-week vacation by a couple of days and return to Washington. The president's chief of staff, Andrew Card; his deputy chief of staff, Joe Hagin; his counselor, Dan Bartlett, and his spokesman, Scott McClellan, held a conference call to discuss the question of the president's early return and the delicate task of telling him. Hagin, it was decided, as senior aide on the ground, would do the deed.....
.....The reality, say several aides who did not wish to be quoted because it might displease the president, did not really sink in until Thursday night. Some White House staffers were watching the evening news and thought the president needed to see the horrific reports coming out of New Orleans. Counselor Bartlett made up a DVD of the newscasts so Bush could see them in their entirety as he flew down to the Gulf Coast the next morning on Air Force One.
