lol, ok, I realise this is a joke.. however....

you live in Jersey, which means your either from some Island near France or a State in USA, I am assuming it to be the latter, New Jersey. Just a question.. why is it all americans claim to be Irish, Italian, Spanish etc... and never just plain American. You ever been Ireland?

(Im not trying to be rude, just curious)

I believe the majority of us think of ourselves as Americans first. However, even outside the US, when asked about our background, we assume it is obvious we are American and provide more information. For example, when I have asked Americans where they are from, outside the US, I have gotten answers including "Connecticut" and "Texas." That is just a way of saying more information than just the US.
