Because it's just that's who I am.

Right.

So I'm still struggling and I'm still wrestling through this identity crisis that I have.

But ultimately, I love America.

I love America.

I love its Christian foundation, the rich history that America has.

I do not apologize for America's history at all.

People say this about this.

Yes, there were flaws in every nation's history.

But I love America so much.

But at the same time, I recognize that I'm an immigrant, I'm a guest, and I want America to be America as much as possible, which is America for its descendants.

And that's what I believe.

There's no ethnic thing to go back to.

I do believe that there was an ethnogenesis in America at its founding.

I do believe that it was mainly West Africans and white Anglo-Saxon Protestants.

And that was the ethnogenesis of America where, yes, like those West Africans and the foundational black Americans, they call themselves that.

Yeah.

But yes, they are Americans.

I believe that they are Americans.

But there was a distinct ethnogenesis, I believe, in American history when at the foundation of America, it was white Anglo-Saxon Protestants and West Africans.
