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

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?
My heritage is from multiple diaspora that have survived being exiled from their home numerous times. Denying that heritage for my nationality seems disrespectful of my ancestors. Especially since the american empire was a big part of that generational trauma.
Thanks , IDK why people are so against ___-Americans when they were raised with stuff from the culture
I mean, the american expirement is pretty new. Most other countries dont seem to have the same levels of immigrant and indigenous cultures. It makes sense that it seems odd to them. But many people here are from all over the word and they usually keep some form of tradition alive as a way to connect with that.
Actually most other places have far more indigenous culture, because the dominant socio-economic group is the indigenous people of that place. The existence of an indigenous minority is pretty unique.
