On: Don't touch me, I'm British

[nailer]

There are people with German ancestry, sure. But having parents or heritage from a country does not make you a countryman. People in Indiana who don't speak German, haven't lived in Germany for a substantial part of their lives, and don't know much about Germany aren't Germans. This is probably a good example of that.

Thanks for explaining America, captain obvious. I said "What's funny" because it's supposed to be a joke.
