Most of the world uses the country they were born in. I’ve noticed Americans will claim they’re "from"a country they have ancestry in, even if they’ve literally never even been there.
Due to two ancestors at unequal levels of generations back, I’ve got some odd ratio like 3/128 Native American. In practice this means that I don’t grow much of a beard and I tan before I burn, and not much else.
I’d love the tanning easily trait! Never understood why the Nazis thought fair skinned people were the master race, an hour in summer sun and we’re turning red and having to hide
Someone will inevitably reply that it’s because they’re a „country of immigrants“ and ignore that Australia, Canada, and New Zealand don’t do the same thing (among others)

TBF Germany used to have less summer. Global warming is a bitch!
Yeah, my sister lives in Bavaria and has been complaining about summers in the high 30s for a while now.
I live in Spain and have to hide for the summer :-/
The way genes swap around isn’t really consistent with the whole ‘fractions’ thing, so that’s not too surprising I suppose
And oddly enough, they’re never English…
While also shunning immigrants like lepers.
Sicilian Americans are crazy proud of their heritage… They neither speak Italian nor own passports.
