When I visited Europe, or talk to a European in the US, the first question you always get asked:

"Where are you from?"

This makes me quite uncomfortable, because I'm immediately getting stereotyped based on my parents DNA. (In the US, the question is often "What do you do for work? What do you do for fun?")

I have strong doubts that Europe can actually become a single nation of states. If France doesn't screw it up by demanding to be first among equals, Germany or Poland will probably side with the US who will be against this from happening.



Your parent's DNA? Really? Not the experiences in your childhood that formed you?
