Even if I imigrated to another country, I would never cease to be Swedish, no matter what my passport would say.
No offense taken carbofix, we have been through this allready in several forms, nothing you say about it has any real impact on me.
I genuinely believe that you dont fully grasp how america is different in this area from europe.
For example I am an American and everyone around me considers me so, both native born and other immigrants. All of my friends also know that I'm from Croatia too, and they think thats great as well.
America lets you be like that. Accepts you, assimilates you and still lets you be honest to your old culture if you are an immigrant. And while this process is obviusly not always worked perfectly at many times it is clear that in the long run Amarica is fully commited to it.
Thats what makes this country such a great place.
