I think the issue is the tendency to group "X" and "Americans with X ancestry" together. I can't speak for Hungarians, but someone born to Finnish parents in the US is culturally not Finnish, if they have lived their entire life in the US. Their ancestry may be Finnish, but they have missed all the shared experiences and key events that have shaped recent Finnish culture.

Oh, definitely.

I am half-Bulgarian, but for all practical purposes I am a Czech, though none of my grandparents actually were (the rest were Slovak).
