Then lay it out.

After we hash this out we can debate how many grains of sand compose a pile too. It's plainly American.
>It was not entirely an American creation - if by American, you make it to mean some version of how many generations someone has been here.
How about we define American like this: someone who has no other country but America. I have absolutely no problem saying that VCs which have survived and thrived in large part because they exist in America should consider Americans first and should help American kids, not purely use our country as a homebase to go out and snipe the cheapest equity opportunities possible from around the world. Pay it back guys.

As someone with a dual citizen parent (well, next year anyway), you just excluded my parents from the definition of "American", despite my family being here since the early 1800s. I'm certain that's not what you meant.
