If some people want to connect to their ancestral cultures that's great for them, but I have almost zero connection to my European ancestors except through the lens of American settler-colonial culture. If we had some kind of de-colonization I'd be glad to learn about other cultures or work to make a new American culture without white supremacy. But I'd rather learn to speak Lakota or take Vietnamese cooking classes than eat smack barm pey wet or learn Morris dancing just because some of my ancestors were English.
