Would a DNA test say whether or not my ancestors were one of the people raped? No. That's why a DNA test is pointless when trying to determine our ancestry.


Go to Italy and try telling them you're 100% Italian. You're born in america, you're american.


Guess what? You're 100% right lol. I call myself american before italian. I am American cultured not italian. I am american cultured with a strong sense of italian culture. The italian culture is getting a lot more Americanized in America. My parents would be considered more italian than American but my generation is pretty much just 100% American like you said.


Well that was easy. I was all prepared for a brawl. grin Glad we see eye to eye on this. I'm tired of fighting.
