  >> Are you people not Americans? > I think people are just not very aware of the past including their grandfathers generation these days. It feels surreal to have to even state this, but "being American" does not require that one's grandparents grew up in America. Being a first or second generation immigrant does not make one less "American"

    Errr soooo yeah the context is how today’s American family outings compares to American family outings of decades past… So you’re right the wording was bad, i wasn’t the one that said “not Americans” but I think that person was confused why so many are making flat out incorrect comments like they don’t know anything about America. My comments was trying to say, “no even multigenerational Americans often don’t know what their grandparents generation was like.” In this context of comparing American vacations across time periods, the group you’re talking about, Recent immigrants, I would hope aren’t commenting because very few would have researched the topic of American vacations from 1920 to 1980.
