I never asked for any recognition, your coming across like just another white-guilt, knee jerk idiot. OMG a white guy said he was proud of his ancestors accomplishments, call the WAAAAAHbulance.

You're the guy who said it would be a disgrace to your ancestors if you acknowledged that all you did to become a citizen was to be born. That's all you did, that's all some dude who'd family has been here for a few years has done, why do you feel that you need to single yourself out because your family has been here longer?

It has nothing to do with being proud of you ancestors accomplishments. I'm proud of mine too and there's nothing wrong with that. What is wrong is thinking that it's a disgrace to our ancestors to say that all you've done to be a citizen is to be born here. Isn't that one of the things they worked for? So that you just being born here is enough regardless of who your ancestors are, or how long they've been in Canada?

If you think it's a disgrace to say you were just born here, then what would you answer if someone asked you "How'd you become a citizen of Canada?"
