Oooh, my time to shine! lol
I am Sicilian-American (grandparents from Italy). I did a DNA test and these were my results, which were what I expected given the history of the island.
I co-sign all of this! As an American who is keenly interested in her heritage (I also speak Italian and Sicilian fluently and actually live in Italy, however), I always roll my eyes at the way people talk about us when it comes to this. We are a nation of immigrants. Of course we're interested in learning about where we come from! We do not have the history here in the U.S. that most people in Europe do. For example, my SO is Dutch and his family has been in the same small town since probably the 1200s, whereas my family is in the U.S. only since the 1940s! And being that I am from NYC, my story is not unique.
Europeans just love to shit on everything we do, lol.
