....Is it even worth defining heritage for most people anymore?

My Grandmother was from Quebec, to her, her most defining attribute was that she was French Canadian. Not Canadian, not French "(How dare you! French!?! Do you know know where we are from?!? The French Canada!" - Said with barely understandable English). She was in the America for like 70 years and pretty much refused to speak English because it was beneath her. I always hear how Canadians are so nice....French Canadians are a different set altogether I tell you! But I've never met anyone prouder of their heritage than she was.

Sounds pretty French to me... ;)

Knowing a few french people, they aren't the kind to rub the beauty of their country to lower countries. Frenchs are proud to be the bestest country in the world, but try to be nice about it.

(...)Whereas back then I wrote about the tyranny of the majority, today I'd combine that with the tyranny of the minorities. These days, you have to be careful of both. They both want to control you. The first group, by making you do the same thing over and over again. The second group is indicated by the letters I get from the Vassar girls who want me to put more women's lib in The Martian Chronicles, or from blacks who want more black people in Dandelion Wine.
I say to both bunches, Whether you're a majority or minority, bug off! To hell with anybody who wants to tell me what to write. Their society breaks down into subsections of minorities who then, in effect, burn books by banning them. All this political correctness that's rampant on campuses is b.s.

Damn I'm so jelly. Born and raised in Canada with super Asian parents (Hong Kong). Would love to move to Japan.

Yeah, the problem is that the northest part of the France is not such a pleasant place to live in.
They tend to **** between cousins, and usually have a problem with sobriety, you want to go souther than that.
