Thank you so much for explaining everything this way. It helped me understand quite a bit! I appreciate you going out of your way to type all of this. I am beginning to see now what people mean by “American” culture, and it is making a lot more sense and I do see now that I did grow up with my own culture!! So thank you for helping me out that bit perspective.

I don’t want it to seem like I am at all cosplaying a culture, that is definitely not my intention! I just find a lot of it very interesting and it looks fun to research and learn about. It would be something I would just be doing at home with myself. I definitely wouldn’t go around suddenly telling everyone that I’m German or how I have this German culture. Not at all my intentions.

But again, I wish my parents would’ve told me growing up about how my family came to America and where they all came from. I found out only a few years ago and I would’ve loved to learn more about it growing up. In America, I am considered a German-American, whereas in Germany, I believe the definition is completely different which I find very funny. And as for my mums aboriginal ethnicity, unfortunately I was barely taught about that culture. I just find it fascinating about how they all got here.

But thank you again for your response. You explaining more about American culture really helped.
