This was my choice growing up. I never had any desire at all to identify with anything having to do with my heritage.

Amen, Sir ART! As usual, the most succinctly worded perfect reply. As for my "heritage, " I don't have a clue and don't want one. I know the name of the small town in Alabama where my grandfather was born and that is as far back as I know or ever will know.
I am equally aware that there is a lot of Celtic blood flowing through the Deep South (which explains a lot of "typical" Southern behavior), and I'm probably loaded with it. So what?
I, too, am a U.S. citizen. That is enough, and that is plenty.
