I sometimes wish I was italian
What is so great about being Italian?
I like their food! I like their attitude. When you're an Italian you just do what you want to do and everyone loves you.
You have this undying love for a specific ethnic culture, and it is nice to learn about who they are. But you need to be proud of your own culture, it is where your roots come from organically. If you decide to neglect your own ethnicity then you will loose your true identity.
I don't give a fuck about my roots, I wanna be Italian.
I think that you should just be honest about where you come from. There is no reason to be ashamed of your hertitage.
