Its a known fact that your a dumping ground for the flotsam and jestsom of Europe and points North, South, East and West.
Could be worse and your an Aussie, we all know what and where they came from 
Cut it out! Cut it out! Cut it out! The hell's the matter with you? Stupid! We're all very different people. We're not Watusi. We're not Spartans. We're Americans, with a capital 'A', huh? You know what that means? Do ya? That means that our forefathers were kicked out of every decent country in the world. We are the wretched refuse. We're the underdog. We're mutts!
