Let us take 5 minutes to celebrate my pale American heritage.

Once again it is that time of year again when we true Americans gather together for 5 minutes to celebrate our American heritage. If one is just visiting with a pedigree that isn't American but would like to join in, then please feel free to fetch oneself a fresh glass of water to drink along with a jar of peanut butter and a package of saltine crackers to make sandwiches.
Yes, I know about peanut butter being invented by George Washington Carver and that his pedigree was African. While the eating of peanut butter and crackers has become a tradition, the eating of corned dogs next year is a possibility.
When celebrating my heritage as a true American, I generally spend the first minute contemplating my mongrel culture while spreading peanut butter onto the crackers. Unlike other people with predigree cultures in the United States, like Jews or Mexicans with duel citizenships, my culture is an unsightly blend of French Poodle, German Shepherd, Jew, Native American and Greek ancestries.
Not much happens in the next 3 minutes of my celebrating because it generally involves chewing up the peanut butter and crackers sandwiches before washing it all down with the fresh glass of water.
The final minute of my cultural celebration involves belching while sitting back with a full stomach. It is during this time that I observe that Jesus Christ was a white man. After this bit of recollection, I'm empowered during the next year to once again work hard and behave myself as Jesus might.

All Yoopers are invited to celebrate with us during our five minute observance of our American culture. Are there moose up there? Can one eat moose meat? Flying squirrel?
Are you also allowed to keep a dual citizenship like Mexicans can?
 
Congratulations on your multi personality of rich cultures

Italian, Dutch, Jewish, English on the one side. Hungarian and German on the other.

I will share my babka with you.

Perhaps our diverse nation of ethnicities will allow you to aquire Italian, Dutch, Jewish, Engliah, Hungarian and German citizenships in the future?

All road kill is edible. And yes there are moose.

I also have a dual citizenship. I am a citizen of the Conch Republic.

You have an extensive Slavic heritage

1/2 Irish, 1/4 Polish, 1/4 Ukrainian Russian.

Congratulations on your Slavic and Irish heritages! The derogatory word slave (the "S" word) originated from the word Slav who suffered a long history of bondage to the Arabs, the Vikings, the Mongols, the Turkish Ottomans, the Germans during WW2 and the Soviet Union afterwards. Yet, the Slavs still don't complain as their women get kidnapped off the street to be thrown into world wide prostitution.
You have a very unique Slavic culture indeed.
Your Irish culture is equally fascinating with its contributions of James Joyce, Irish whiskey and potatoes.
 
I have no place to retreat

Maybe. I'm pretty happy as an American, though, if we could just put her back on the tracks.

My menial American culture is the only one that I have to depend on. I really don't have a pedigree nor a dual citizenship as do other Americans who are just visiting here with their away from home r-r-rich heritages. Like the African Americans who were peacefully enslaved in Africa before they were so horribly ripped away to be violently freed in this nation.
Yes, indeed. It is certainly a privileged to have had these noble foreigners lower themselves to come to this poor nation as volunteers to teach us of their rich cultures. Yes. Thank you very much.

I learned about the slave and Slav thing a few years back, and there is nothing that can beat corned beef and potatoes.

The Irish side of my family has been in America for a long time, since before Independence, but the Slavic only since the turn of the century.
 
Congratulations!

The only thing I know about my culture is that one side of it climbed its way out of the swamps of Louisiana; while, the other side of it made its way down to Texas from Kentucky after spending some time in California.
I really don't care about researching my heritage. I'm like an offspring of the new nation of Zion. I find German culture and rap culture equally significant when compared to my American culture.
 
Let's see...

Scottish, Irish, English, (in that order) and a little bit of Sioux to spice things up!
