This kid doesnt understand ethnicity. It is quite a shame. I dont believe he understands citizenship either. It is quite a shame that you cant comprehend this simplistic concept. Please let me know if you would like some resources for you to educate yourself, whether it is about American history and how it was founded by Europeans and inhabited, or whether you would like resources on how to become an american citizen, because here is the kicker, anyone can do it. I realize that you are a bitter human being, but please keep your pointless bull shit out of this thread.
I realize people here tend to not grasp these things. But ill put it in aspect for you. My grandmother is from Barnsley which is in Yorkshire, England. Her parents and her immigrated here to the United States in the early 1900s. They had to go through a process at Ellis Island to get american citizenship, once they did receive this, they were then dual-citizens of the country. Now whether she decided to go live in England after, or USA, she would be a citizen of both the United States and England.
Another example. My Grandfather, came to the US from Dusseldorf, Germany aka 100% German, He went through the same process that my grandmother went through and is a citizen of both Germany and USA. If for some crazy reason when he was younger and he played football, he could play for either team.
A final example for your dimwitted mind. We have had multiple players who were born in the US (making them US citizens) and decided NOT to play for their home country and play for their parents country aka Brede Hangeland, having been born in Houston, Texas. Another example of this is Guiseppi Rossi, who was Born in NJ. Nevan Subotic, Lived in Florida for years, played for the US u21 team, only to decide he would want to play for Serbia, his parents country.
I can refer you to more resources if you would like, just let me know kid.
