It's even more strange when I see 3rd or 4th generation children from immigrants call themselves "Greek" or "Italian" and many times they've never even stepped inside those countries nor speak the language

    Or even worse, they think that they do some typical Italian food when in fact, if you gave that food to Italians, they would be disgusted.

    Vice versa as well! I've tried to share some chocolate salami with "italian-americans" in the past and they've basically run away screaming every time! For some reason theyre not able to comprehend that its not actually meat...
