A question to the Europeans…

I know it’s a running joke that some U.S. born citizens like to identify with their European roots (even if they go back generations) but are generally not accepted as such in Europe. But how do you feel about the first generation—the children of immigrants here, from your countries ? Do you see them as having the right to claim the European identity of their parents even though they’re personally U.S. born ?

I'm English but have lived in Scotland for nearly 25 years, I do not feel the I have the right to call myself Scottish, I do have Scots ancestry via my grandmother.

In the "right" company I am considered an adopted Scot but most people don't think that way.

I think if you are born in a country that is your country, if it were any other way then the children of immigrants would not be considered as from the UK even if those children are born here and that would in my eyes be wrong.

Great question!
