Look I’m as child-free as they get and certainly don’t think the world needs more humans, but this is a weird take. This is a class war and you got your gun pointed in the wrong direction.


Most parents I know are not rich people, also. Seems this person specifically dislikes rich parents.
So I’m not American but I do identify as Mexican-Canadian. I am an immigrant so for me that is a very important distinction.
In my perspective though, I wouldn’t ever want to make fun of someone for identifying as whatever. However, there is something about the cultural aspect of it that bothers me. If you are many generations in and have, for all intents and purposes, lost your connection with the hyphenated part of your culture, and don’t have any intent to learn with or contect with that culture other than by name, it does feel a bit preformative. If someone is actively reconnecting with their culture and trying to learn/understand more about their heritage, then it’s fine IMO, otherwise it seems disrespectful/appropriative. You can just as easily say “my ancestry is _____”, without claiming it as your culture.
