6. You were born in San Francisco so you are an American.

I find it odd that the United States is one of the only countries in which no one is ever from?

You notice that? Unless you are Native American, no one acts like they are an American, like it isn't a real country. That has always fried my ham.

BTW I am Native American (card carrying Choctaw) but I usually don't bring it up, if you were born here, well shit, you're as Native as I am as far as I am concerned.

Born in France - French. Japan, Japanese. America, half German a quarter Irish and a little English blah blah. I think people might be better served identifying as American. It's like our country is a proxy?

Cheers.
