3. The only way you're not an immigrant or a descendent of one

Dec 27

is if your ancestors had already been here for hundreds of years before 1776 (or 1620), or if your ancestors were kidnapped and taken here involuntarily. How many generations ago were your ancestors required to have arrived for you to be considered a "real" American? Or is the only requirement that your ancestors were white? By the way, there was a time when Irish people (e.g., Sean Hannity, Steve Bannon) and Italians (e.g., Sinatra and Martin) weren't considered "white" either. German immigrants were so despised during the early 20th century that many of them changed their names (for example, Drumpf became Trump).
