Being American isn’t a purist proposition

By Frank White | August 18, 2010 |

One of the many American pride bumper stickers

I saw a bumper sticker recently that said American-American.  Really?  I seriously doubt that.  I didn’t see the driver, so I couldn’t profile him.  But I can bet that he was not a pure blooded American.

Unless he can trace his American heritage back to the 15^th Century with assurance of no inbreeding with English, Irish, German, Italian, Chinese, Korean, Spanish or whatever, he is not American-American.  There is something else to the left of the hyphen.

The truth is that none of us could gain registration through the American Kennel Club.  We’re all mutts.  Very few of us are pure breed.  Sorry if you find that insulting, but it is true. «Read the rest of this article»
