Hello I just moved to America from Russia, I've been learning english since I was 13 (I'm now 27), because my father was a Doctor and would go to America for meetings and some kind of award ceremonies for doctors world wide or something, and we'd be there for atleast 8 months every 2 years, and I had to keep going to American and Russian school's so I had to learn English...Anyways, my question is, how can one be proud to be American, and claim to be good people if every American comes from Europeans? Russian's are proud to be Slavs, as we come from Slavic people's. What are American's proud of? When I went there was a lot of racism, and it did not make much sense, I studied American history and it really just showed me that American's are European Immigrants, and today hate other immigrants? I'm confused, I do not understand American Logic, I cannot see why/how one would be proud to be a non-existant race. You cannot be proud to be American as you are European/Asian/Middle Eastern/African. I just do not understand why there is a concept of Racism and intolerance to immigrants in America, which is made up of European immigrants. Are American's really that stupid?
