Elvira95, I would like to add that, unlike how it is in the US, most countries don’t see moving somewhere as magically making you a part of the culture or local ethnic groups. I’ve considered moving to Poland in the past. I can learn to speak fluent Polish, I can adopt Polish culture as my own, I can attain Polish citizenship, I can even marry a Polish person and have half Polish children. At the end of the day, however, I’m an American of majority German and Irish heritage who has lived in America all my life. I will never really be Polish. I don’t think a lot of Americans (let’s be honest, most of the people who are for mass immigration into Europe are Americans or Americanized Europeans) realize that.

Absolutely I will move a different country but even if I would take the citizenship of that country, it would just a paper, I will always be italian and sicilian this is my ethnic and origins you cannot change it by moving and earning a piece of a paper, ethnic is something made in thousands of years, you are born with it, you take after your parents. Not even being born in that country makes you ethnically part of that country, only in citizenship sense.

Americans who are for mass invasion of europe and call a nazis anyone who care about the ethnical preservation of a country are insufferable. It's insane being accused of being for white purity or against mixed races people simply for supporting the identity of a country, because for them is all about race and skin tone, while ethnic is more than that, it is the origin and history of a population (both cultural and genetics)and it is linked with a land. I get is hardto get when you are from young country fomed by european immigrants, but it isn't about skin tone
