America deserves to be nuked, this is my breaking point, it's irredeemable.
This is what happens when "cultural hegemon of the world" brain collides with "23andme obsession to fill the immutable void of whiteness" brain

I love that the 23andme crowd seem to miss the part where you don't really share much DNA with anyone older than your grandparents.

Americans have no culture, so they must steal it from people distantly related to them.
Sadly, it's
type yeonmi-park](https://chapo.chat/pictrs/image/c88ba9eb-c207-4282-91e0-a9e403dcf715.png "emoji yeonmi-park")
with 
Hahaha, I'm booming right now, and can't figure it out. Tried a couple of combos.
I left that up there so you guys can point out what's off. 😞 I wish we had those emojis on our list in the Grad.
omg why is your yeonmi so much bigger (no surgery jokes please)
EDIT: this is a test
on communist hexbear, the link to yeonmi's image will get overridden if you replace the "emoji yoenmi-park" text with "emoji bugs-stalin" for instance
oh wow, on the grad it's still park lol
but on the bear
real 
hours
It's like a Yeonmi matryoshka doll that says harsher truths as she gets smaller.

Pretty sure the image macros are a hexbear feature
nah, we switched from the old :word-here: format to ![ ] () specifically becase other instances can see and use 'em.
"Hope this helps in the future when you try to gatekeep culture"
He says, as he gatekeeps culture. Fascinating specimen.
the yes true Scotsman fallacy
"I'm not Scottish" "YEAH YOU ARE"
One day Americans will learn culture doesn't run in your veins, and the people in general will understand that DNA inherently spreads through and across populations over time.
Given how long Scotland has been inhabited, it's quite substantially likely that every person on Earth has DNA from native Scots. So there you go, everyone on Earth is now "authentically Scottish".
There are a lot of factors, but after about 10,000 years, you are likely either an ancestor of all humans alive, or none.
I remember watching two Americans try to eat a Scottish breakfast in Edinburgh. Stupid fucks just pushed the food around their plate and looked bemused. One of them put a tiny amount of brown sauce on their fork and touched it to the tip of their tongue to taste it before making a gagging sound as though they'd been made to taste raw sewage. I honestly wanted to hit them in the head with a brick
As a local of Edinburgh, nothing more infuriating then the American tourists during the fringe and winter. Many are sound as hell but some Americans are just misery to be around. Can't imagine visiting that cursed nation
scottish breakfast is when no burger
I had to look up what a Scottish breakfast is but now I'm confused ass to why an american wouldn't readily shovel that down their gullet, like I could see not being into the black pudding, but everything else sounds delicious.
ah yes truly the torchbearers for the highland ways would make the name Ronald MacDonald, of the Clan MacDonald known by every man, woman and child as the Laird of Lairds.
he looks like every man, woman, and bairn I met in between Skye and Inverness.
Doxxing Rangers fans is against the rules.
Only nobles of the clan McDongle are allowed to wear the traditional red-on-white tartar pattern with the gilded vest
This is the problem with heritage BS. If you are not from said region, you are not that region's ethnicity, because you are not apart of that region's culture. It's that fuckin simple.
If you're from Scottish ancestry, but born and raised in New York, you're a fucking New-Yorker. At best, you are a Scottish-American New-Yorker. Your kids will just be New Yorkers, though.
Bold take. I think it depends. I'm thinking of examples of ethnic enclaves in the US (e.g. Chinatowns) where the language and (a version of the) culture are laboriously preserved and passed down.
For most white Americans you're bang on the money, because racism didn't corral them into those sorts of communities where they maintained and preserved their community out of a sense of necessity, defiance, etc.
Those enclaves are seperate cultures from mainland China's and over time each culture will likely diverge from one another.
Cultures are physically manifested through direct interactions between individuals. Because of that, cultures constantly shift and evolve over small increments, and physical space has a large impact on how those shifts occur. Even if concerted effort is put into making the local enclave's culture the same as mainland China's, that enclave has surrounding influences from the American culture it's inserted into, and it will thus shift differently from the mainland somewhat. The lived experience of each culture is also going to be different in various ways.
Because of this, I think it's reasonable to state that a person born and raised in New York Chinatown is going to be culturally distinct from a person born and raised in LA Chinatown, and they both would be distinct from a person born and raised in mainland China.

People will say this and them complain that there arent good tacos in Scotland and “no spicy food”.
Try growing black pepper, cilantro or nutmeg in the cold soggy stony highlands.
Show less! Show less!!!

I'm also from North Kilt Town! Do you know Angus Macleod?
Wait a second, there's no Angus Macleod in North Kilt Town!
Why you're not Scottish at all!
Ach! Don't be daft! I was born and raise- hey, what the? My retirement grease! 
He was gonna retire on a track and field career after getting enough grease to last a few seasons. There's nary a creature alive that can outrun a greased Scottsman
This does support my argument that Italian Americans are the true Italians tho
Maron, get the load of bolls on this guy!
There’s more than 5x as many people outside of Africa with African ancestry than the population of Africa, so ergo the rest of the world knows African better than Africans.
