What's the point of specifically Americans identifying with other cultures if people born there will just make fun of them for it?

What's the point of specifically Americans identifying with other cultures if people born there will just make fun of them for it? - Discuss Online

Sorry to ask, I don’t want to seem ignorant but I really don’t get it. Like, I saw a post on someone identifying as Norwegian-American and I thought of what another commenter said that most people don’t do the stuff Americans do and how most people will see them as American. But I see many Americans strongly identify with a culture they were raised with. Is it still okay for them to do that? What’s the point?

Some communities are closer to their culture than others. I sometimes call myself Irish American but I didn’t grow up with Irish culture and know nothing about it.

l fantasize about moving to Ireland mostly because I hate America and want out, knowing that it’d be a big culture shock if I left and I may not get accepted because I’m American.
