-You are American
-Em, no...
-Yes you are and I get very annoyed when I hear people tell others that they're not American
-I don't have that problem
-You need to stand up for yourself

-Yes. This is a great country. It doesn't matter where your family is from, you need to assert yourself. You're as American as I am. Nobody gets to take that away from you
-I thought you said you were from Scicily
