Mexicans regularly joke about their northern states being wannabe Americans, the pacific northwest plays host to dueling movements that insist "Cascadia" should be its own country, I say dueling because they frequently differ on if this state should be a white ethnostate or a bio-regional communist hippytocracy.
The point here is that despite having some of the most well defined borders in the world, the North American trio are basically just a set of siblings in a spectrum from largely indigenous central Americans in the south of Mexico to the last flickers of Maritime Canadian Gaelge in Nova Scotia to Anchorage probably being one of the sneakily most important cities in the world geopolitically, and with infinite multitudes of spectrums between.
Two sibling eagles and their little sister jay who's smarter than the both of them.
For a visual check this map of North American cultures
wait but what culture am I then meow?? Wait what if I want to be american but I'm not yet?? Can I identify as semi american or something similar meow?? I just really like the US, they make the best software!! I love Mexico of course too but I think Mexico is americanized to a certain degree meow which to be honest makes it hard to separate its friendship with USA, despite what people say meow!!
Is your keyboard broken and replacing now for meow? And if you want to be an American, you work on getting citizenship and take an oath to the country. Just like many other countries. Citizenship is not something you identify with. And the only way be “semi-American” is with dual citizenship. It’s not something you identify as like genders.
It’s another thing to be a citizen of a country and not necessarily be proud of it sometimes. But that doesn’t make you semi-whatever.
no, why?? Nya!!
Oh god… just realized you’re that person from the Linux communities. I will carry on with my day.
Ah the “why do people say I’m a child online” person.
Some mysteries may never be solved in this world.
Please just don't.
There is a poem inscribed on the tablet of the actual colossal Statue of Liberty, which a small part of it states:
Wherever you are right now, your uniqueness, however strange, unorthodox and indeed very wretched, is absolutely welcome in the USA despite what people say. If you come and contribute great things, and also even if you do not, there is undoubtedly a community for you here that will welcome you with warm open arms.
Your flavor of weird will find a home in the USA, and it will make the taste of this crazy melting pot of cultures more interesting.
We are America. We will add your cultural and biological uniqueness to our own. Resistance is futile.
