Just to clarify, but 2 generations would be 2 parents and some kids?

Some furriners immigrate, they have children in the states. Their kids are 1st generation. The kids kids are 2nd. I think.

That guy's just an extremely displaced Mongolian who got lost on the land bridge and got a suntan. Now he drinks and builds casinos.

1/8 choctaw, but beyond that, the most recent immigrant in my family would be Swiss, circa 1840's.

3rd Generation - and I'm AMERICAN - nothing else - AMERICAN. I'm not into that political correctness blue state horse crap. Enough with the Columbine stuff - Like the voice from the spinners overhead speakers said in Blade Runner - "Move on, Move on, Move on."

American since 1735.... My Father returned to Germany in the mid 1940's just long enough to bomb them.
