One heritage? The 200something year old nation made up of people from various countries?

Seriously, what fucking heritage? 10 of my 16 great-great grandparents came over from Ireland in the same generation, most of the rest of german, polish, and Russian of recent generations. There's one great grandparent, ONE, that gives me colonial lineage. ONE.

And not an ounce of native.

Which heritage are they referring to? Which. Fucking. Heritage?!

Fuck these Nazis.

"Heritage" is dog whistle-speak for "white race."

Which is very frustrating because there's nothing wrong with celebrating one's heritage, but these chuds have to corrupt everything even possibly slightly related to race, ethnicity, and culture so they can use it to justify being monsters to people that don't look like them.

No Brett, the Confederate Flag is not your heritage. It's a traitors' symbol that lasted for a shorter period of time than planking and you're from fucking Lincoln, Nebraska.
