  • The meme literally says “boomers” in it. You paint with a pretty broad brush with those generalizations.

    I’m American and an old millennial and when I think of the Vietnam War all I feel is shame. We for sure “lost” in so many senses but we’ve “lost” just about every armed conflict we’ve been involved in since WWII.

    America always seems to make the worst of a bad situation and escalate things. Really we should have only kept our bases in Europe and Asia long enough for them to recover from WWII and then begun transitioning back to local allies.



  • I think you misunderstood. I wasn’t talking about the people who claim to have some European origin but the practice in general in the US of acknowledging ancestral ethnic heritage as part of where you’re from.

    Descendants of slaves generally have very little knowledge about the origin of their ancestors.

    This might be true now, but 200 years ago people were brought here from other countries unwillingly and had children here. If we’re were forcefully taken to another country and then had children at some point I would talk to them about the people left behind and where I came from.
