Dudes claiming they are "old stock" or "heritage" Americans. They'll even call other white people who's ancestors weren't here before the Civil War "ellis islanders" and invaders.
As someone who's ancestry has partially been here since the 1690s.. it's a crock of shit and silly as fuck.
After my grandparents died, we found a family tree in my grandpa's stuff showing that some of his ancestors emigrated way earlier than any of us assumed. My first thought was, "why on earth didn't he ever share this with any of his history nerd family members?" My second thought was "it would be HILARIOUS if I could join the DAR."
Yeah I could technically join the sons of the American revolution but God would I not suffer being around so many boomers.
Fuck no dude, there's no way.
Yeah, I never looked into it for the same reason. The thought of me being in the DAR is still funny to me, but the thought of actually spending time with the kind of people who join the DAR sound ms absolutely miserable.
