...British national living in the U.S. Upon discovering where I am from, countless Americans reply with "Oh, I'm Irish/Scottish/quarter-English/half - French Canadian," etc. Given that a lot of Americans are proud of their non-American ancestry, why do some people use it as a negative point for Obama?
