Oh yeah I understand and appreciate that SC and I hope I cause no offense. I just wanted to eloborate on what I though Sbalzi meant with this thread. Maybe the way he went about creating this thread could have been done differently. I just think it's an interesting culture difference and offered my point of view.

Personally I think it's weird when I see something in America mentioned because of their background. For example, (first person in my head) Bill O Reilly mentioning he's Irish making a point of something. Over here, something like that would hardly be mentioned or even noticed unless there was an accent. And I think this comes down to Americans wanting to maintain their own identity.
