I have a very serious, grievous, grave question to ask. Why do Americans do the whole "I am 1/8 Scottish, 1/16 Norwegian, 1/16 Japanese, 1/4 Irish and 1/2 Mexican" thing?
The same with African American. Dude, your African ancestry goes back like ten generations. You're American, already. Italian American? Nope, you are so thoroughly bred out that no Italian remains in you. You don't even speak Italian. You call a Bologna-sausage sandwich a "beloney saimwich".And what's that, the man in the corner? Your mom's uncle's dog's pet rabbit's foot was a 1/2 Irish? So you're Irish, too?
:'D
Seriously, I don't get it.

It is a bit difficult to understand, I agree. 
What has happened here, is a basic human desire for knowledge of our heritage. The stories passed down from our ancestors are cherished. Many families being blended from several different nationalities (myself included) here in America. We can easily identify with and embrace each country. The traditions and customs have been woven throughout our lives. These beautiful combinations of ancestry and the visceral pride and honour for those who have come before us, have inspired us to reach for a greater vision. Each story, each fraction of what makes the journey to where we are today,
is precious to us dear friend.

Been to Norway on a number of occasions, have friends just north of Bergen, have travelled around quite a bit of it and have many happy memories of my time there, was thinking recently of taking a few days in Oslo...
So, to all my Norwegian friends...
"ta av de skoene"
You'll be most welcome at my home!
