Yes, I have the citizenship from birth, but since I didn't live in the U.S. for the first 23 years of my life, the second 23 years have left me somewhat confused about what this country is really about....
When I was a kid, I never celebrated July 4th or Memorial Day. Thanksgiving was turkey day for me. But when I came here from 2 years in Japan and those around me celebrated Dec. 7th as "slap a Jap" day, I was really offended at how overly-patriotic and blind-to-the-world this country can be....
So, I guess I'm one who was born American but not made American....
