Is it all right I'm really happy I haven't been "americanized"?

My family is Scandinavian, I was born in the US but was raised very differently from other american children, as such most people seem to think I'm foreign, and I don't mind it, I don't care if I was born here I don't want to be considered an american at all!

Does anyone else feel the same way?

i could never properly grow facial hair, i tried for about a year and i ended up with a patchy mess all over my face that didnt look good, i’ve stayed clean shaven ever since.
also yes its perfectly fine to not be americanized. one could even argue that america was based around european peoples banding together in their own community and bringing their culture here rather than assimilate into something that hardly existed

Oh I'm sorry that it's not viable for you, beards can be pretty nice!

Well I mean that's exactly it, America is a mish mash of germans, ittalians, irish, and all sorts of other things, all rich cultures in their own right but those that instead take the mantle of "american" tend to be bloated self righteous assholes that reek of civic nationalism, don't get me wrong america has some neat stuff without a doubt, but who wants to be an ameriburger or shartinmart?

jag är svenskamerikansk
I don't know if you speak the language or not (Swedish) but I didn't want my families heritage to die out in America on my generation so I took the time to self teach Swedish. I have the exact feelings as you do. Every one thinks I am foreign but I just took the time to learn the language my grandparents spoke and neglected to teach my parents. I felt it was great for my brain to learn another language and its good to represent your heritage and be proud of it. America should be all about that, one massive unified nation with every civilized culture meeting in the middle. Being an American feels hard to be proud of but for some reason I feel more proud and patriotic for Sweden and America when I call my self a swede american.This thread legit hits home.

Hate to say I don't speak Swedish well, although my cousins speak fluently, I know more danish and Norwegian. that said, Alltid bra att träffa en annan skandinavisk amerikan.

I absolutely agree! Of course it helps that my family is rather traditional, so we get to keep up all the same traditions of the old country :)

Yeah exactly! It's like if I just think of myself as an american I'm relinquishing something very important about myself.

Obviously the pic is just a joke, but sometimes it does feel that way.

well I decided to ask because I got into a big fight about it with a friend recently where he said that I'm no better than mexicans that refuse to learn the language and leech off the government, now I think that's a load of bull shit, but i figured maybe I was the outlier so I'd ask an international community

What kind of a person goes to someone else's country, takes a look around, then says "Fuck this shit, I'm going to do things my way and actually you all people need to do the same" ?
