If we all capitulated to the trump suggestion to "GO BACK WHERE YOU CAME FROM" where would that be for thee? What is your ancestry?

For me?

My mom was born in Amasya, Armenia. My dad was born in Izmir, Turkey. I don't know which of those I would go back to though since my parents met in the United States of America after their parents and they came to  America via Ellis Island very very very very very long ago.

Where would you go back to "where you came from"?

    I'd have to chop myself into bits. All of my great-grandparents were born in "the Antipodean colonies" (Australia didn't officially exist until 1901), but it diverges a step or two back - mostly Irish, one Canuck, one from parts unknown (he called himself "John Smith", 'nuff said) and 1/32nd of me stays put - one great-great-great grandmother was a native Australian aborigine.

    Boy and I thought I had a problem!  I'd either go back to Amasya Armenia or Izmir Turkey. YOU? Sheesh. Maybe to the place where the greatest percentage of you would be from? I'd be 50/50 so simple choice. Either/or. You would be percentagewise all over the place. I don't envy you m'dear . Maybe Ireland then ?

    Personally I think 100% anything isn't nearly as handsome/beautiful as an amalgam of many ethnicities.  As far as I know I'm 100% Armenian. How far back that's true I have no idea. I KNOW both sets of grandparents were Armenian too but 100%? I dunno. Anyway you don't have that problem. We in the trumpican country do. If he seriously implements that because as the White House said he HATES DISSENT not dissenters (though between thee and me I don't believe that) I betcha lots of Americans would face the same dilemma you would. Thank you for your reply and Happy Thursday R! :)
