I see the difference, I just think they have just as much right to be called Italian as the people who experience and lived in that culture.

So if I call myself black, despite being white, that would be ok? Because everyone can just do and think whatever they want no matter if it's offensive to people of the culture they claim to be a part of?

Why is this offensive to you if you're dutch?..

You're overreacting by thinking that anyone would be offended by what I said.

I can imagine it now. Going to Italy, I say "I'm Italian", and after hearing my accent, or finding out I'm from America, they call me an *******, or say "No, you're not".


I can't see that happening in my wildest, most outlandish dreams.

That will never happen to any person, and you're deluding yourself by thinking otherwise.

I just don't know how to respond to this stupidity.

If you honestly think that out of 7 billion people on earth, I'm the only person who has this opinion, you are actually the one deluding himself.

I'll give you one example of this actually happening in real life:

My girlfriend is American, claims Irish heritage and did a Study Abroad semester in Dublin. She has told me that several people corrected her when she said ''I'm Irish.''

If some American came up to me and says ''I'm Dutch.'' I start speaking Dutch, then ask them ''I thought you said you were Dutch?'' as they look at me in confusion. Sure, I wouldn't show the same outrage as I'm doing right now, but then I'd assume most Americans would realise the error of their ways instead of defending their stupidity.
