IS it becuase they're closely related to Americans???

Must be so, look who our population, elected, although there are doubts among many, how legal that election was in 2004. We know that G.W. Bush, stile the one in 2000 with help from the Supreme Court.

It's very possible. My best friend is Native American, and she is as blue eyed/blonde as them come. Recessive genes can toss you through a loop. Give him the benefit.

Hi muAn, \n\nI used to have the same idea as you that Americans/Europeans do not care about their elders but that's just a generalization. I realized that we cannot just look at them as a whole but we need to look at them as individuals. We must also respect them as we respect our elders. \n\ntake care =)

If you are an African American, a German American, Polish American, Irish American or any other type of "Ethnic" American, Then you are a divided American. You don't ever "lose" your ethnic or culture. There are many ways that you can keep in touch with your past. Look at Oktoberfest for example. Look at all of the different ethnic festivals that are celebrated in our country. Italian, German, we have St.Patrick's Day, even Cinco de Mayo in some parts of the country is celebrated. Why I'll bet that even fr_chuck has an ethnic background.........

What can I say?  Americans are not friendly to ALL Americans!  But I think his dad should be told before he becomes a grandfather.  Since it is inevitable that you will be wed, he deserves to know.  Hopefully he will be open minded & accepting.

I'm American.The individual people or the ones that they meet they find agreeable/likable however if you come from a place with more structure or is not quite so fast paced,American culture could be daunting in its immenseness and/ or lack of traditional culture(perception-compared to other countries). My mom was from Bay Springs, Mississippi and came to visit me in San Diego,California. It was a little scary for her.Image what it must look like to a person from a whole different country. It mostly depends on what you are use/accustomed to. We are a country of immigrants so our culture is rich and varied.

I'm old enough to be your grampa, however I'd denounce any grandson of mine with a name like Kaspa, sounds creepy.\nNationality? I'm Scotch America, German American, Perhaps a little Irish American (though I seldom admit it) might also be a little English American. After you get all the info. you need you may have a best seller, at least for"answers".

I don't get why you would think they were similar at all. This is a weird question.

I agree, they're some of the nicest folks around.  And they seem pretty hardy too.  They'd have to be considering the ins and outs of their heritage and all the struggles they've faced.\n\n\nMore details:\n\nI think I stumbled across something here I didn't know anything about.  I was commenting more on the historical sense of things.  But this is all hilarious good fun and makes me like the Welsh, and all the rest of you even more.  And yeah, I'm an American girl who has no idea about some of your cultural frames of reference but hey, I'm still enjoying this!  :))))

I am an American and the truth is Americans are arrogant. Americans will visit a foreign country and call the people there foreigners! lol, it's true. But seriously, I do think that's the reason why...not to mention we are a bit spoiled. Now understand, not ALL Americans are like this but you can safely say the majority fit in this category.

I love it. There are many Asian American families that have been here for a long time and I think it's about time the Media recognized them to a greater degree. America's supposed to represent for the whole Earth. We have citizens from every bloodline and tribe on the planet. I think this should be seen more often. I think Asian Americans are just awesome anyways.
