Should a trip to Europe be mandatory for all those "muh heritage" Americans? I got a YouTube recommendation about an American girl with "Norwegian" heritage who—of all places—was living in Sweden. Her ancestors left Bergen, Norway 150 years ago, so she felt she had to go there to reconnect with her "heritage." She ended up disappointed because she discovered she had absolutely nothing in common with the locals. She was cured and is now only an american
I have a very small amount of Norwegian DNA, and I fucking loved Bergen. I'd move there permanently if I could.
No one gives a shit about Americans caring about their roots here. More power to them.
>>226078900You're talking to a shill or the edgiest Norwegian zoomer ever
>>226078868Seems like a retarded notion to “cure” an interest in your families past or identifying with its history. I’m very informed of mine. Great, great grandad was a road man that built the rail roads in Lappland. He ended up staying in one of the transplant mining outposts and became a foreman. He died of lung disease at the ripe old age of 51. Wtf do i have in common with him?
>>226078926Sorry to say but some nordics do care about shit like that. I tried to find that Sweden / american youtuber again so could write some shit comments but couldn't find her. She had 20K subscribers o algo
They are undeniably scandis. Otherwise why would Somalis pick Minnesota out of all places in the US to flock to? Something genetic going on there. Anecdotally, there was a pair of twin girls in my tiny rural highschool that had a ridiculously scandi name that I won't say because small population and they were bleach blonde naturally. One actually married a real Swedish guy and lives there now. No idea how they met since we are from the middle of nowhere with limited access to airports or anything.
I was born in Lillehammer to Norwegian parents but raised in the US until I was 20. I’m 26.>>226079137uh huh ok
There's a game show about Americans coming to Sweden to "find their roots" with both viewers and contestants soyfacing it by the way. Anyone shitting themselves over this who isn't a divide and conquer shill would have to be so permaonline so as to have completely lost their connection to the culture.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allt_f%C3%B6r_Sverige
>>226079197Somalis aren’t even 1% of our population. The real mass of non white immigrants are from the balkans and the Middle East. Some 5% of the population each. What’s the most Arab/Iranian and Balkan state in the US? Michigan?
>>226079284We have a few edgelords that need to be deported asap
>>226078868>American living in Swedenlol you watch videos of incredibly rich trust fund babies and think all Americans are like that. explains a lot about European opinions on us.
>>226079348They tend to be Americanized as hell, so they could go there
>>226078868>She ended up disappointed because she discovered she had absolutely nothing in common with the localsWas there not enough BBC?
>>226079367they make norgetråden unusable so annoying
>>226079308>balkansEverywhere, but mostly east coast, they aren't new>arabsMichigan by a mile>PersiansEverywhere, a lot in academia, so around universities. But california heavy for whatever reason.
>>226078868My only European vacation was one of those heritage trips. I recommend against taking trips like that especially if your family came from Eastern Europe.
>>226079408We have a borderline mystery meat guy (Finnish gypsy I think) shitting on "suedi" all day, so that's quality content too
>>226079455I know a lot Swedes went to Chicago. It’d be that one that’s our promised Arab motherland then. >>226079494What happened?
>>226079544The only thing we don’t have in common is my racial discrimination. I connect best with other Norwegians obviously not the imports whom I despise. It’s so relieving though.
>>226079549it started out great in bohemia but only went east from there only getting worse until we ended up in my grandmothers village in the carpathians of western Ukraine. My mother spared no expense hiring guides or translators at each stop to try to track down any living ancestors. The poverty level in that region was extremely embarrassing but more depressing. We went to the home of 2nd cousins of my mother and they were so poor they only owned 2 plates in the whole house. No indoor toilet, no running water nothing.
>>226080064Why would you be embarrassed by their poverty? They’ve had history rife with hardship and struggle
>>226078868>>226080064>grandmothersThird generation immigrant in Norway is no longer an immigrant but fully norwegian. This means that Ping—whose grandparents came to Norway from Vietnam in the early 1970s—is officially 100% Norwegian. Much more Norwegian than any "muh heritage" American
>>226078868When I went to Italy, all of the locals were as snobby and elitist as the wops back in America, but not as funny.>>226079549Minneapolis and St Paul has a way higher percentage of Swedes. Their accent even comes from Scandinavian languages.
>>226078926No, part of the American muh heritage is experience is snobby Europeans scoffing at them as they bravely find themselves despite the adversity. You're ruining it for them.
We need more Americanized Finns like Pamela Anderson and Vampira who could come here to find their roots by showing their tits in very little clothing.
>>226078868Jews already do this, there's a program called birthright that gives Jewish Americans a free trip to Israel so they can be indoctrinated into zionism.
