Of course. The problem begins when you stop striving to be better.

Define better?  Occidentalism or Orientalism ... aka prejudice.

Americans are bad too, just ask a Native.

Aren't immigrants "American" as well?  How many generations do you think it takes to be "American". 

By that logic, the Francs are not French.

Correct on both counts, you can be taught.  The Franks come from Germany, one of their many invasions of neighbors.  No, actually I was referring to the collective amnesia and virtue signaling.

The Franks came originally from the Asian steppes.  Sort of.  When you discuss pre-historical and historical immigration, you are talking one of my personal interests.  Everyone comes from somewhere else.  I'm a Multi-Regionalism human evolutionist.

A little class in migration.  There were Neandertals in Europe and eastern Asia about 30KYA.  Moderns Humans immigrated.  Some of them mated.  The Cro-Magnons (I'm simplifying this) were mostly Modern Humans with some 5% neandertal genes.  I won't even involve the Denisovians.

Then other modern humans moved in from Central Asia.  They pushed the Cro-magnons to the edges of Europe. 

Those peoples were probably the Picts.  THEY got pushed into Britain by new incoming peoples (all Modern Humans by this point).  Those peoples were Aryan (and no this is not an Aryan racial thing, they were just Indo-European from the Caucasian Mountains) but hence the later non-Romance language influences.  I think that is bout when the Iceman was living.

Later other Aryans/Caucasians (Celts) moved into northern Europe.  Meanwhile, people from the eastern Mediterranean domesticated some animals and plants and spread that culture into the Balkans, Greece and Italy.

So while Greece and Italy were colonized by one group, Northern Europe got more from Central Asian steppes.  In the times of the Romans, the last peoples to move westward were the Franks, Vandals, and Visigoths etc (collectively called "Gauls").

The Gauls were from the Asian steppes.  They were just the last of many Asian Steppe immigrants.  All this has no race or jcultural udgement whatsoever.  As the Roman Empire failed, the Gallic peoples took over Europe.  You know the rest.  If I recall correctly, the Franks became the French, the Vandals became the Italians, and the Visigoths became the Iberians (Spain and Portugal).  Mating with the locals all the way...

Never read any of the Bobbsey Twins books.  Can we be Frank and Joe Hardy?  I read several of those.  Or are you Nan?

Chihuahua Kentucky, south of nashville, right?  But actually, hot dogs (as normal food) were invented at Fenway Park on a cold day when ice cream wasn't selling.

The history of the hot dog is hard to pin down.  The sausage was developed in Frankfurt, Germany--most accept that.  The bun applied to said sausage is another story.  One can find lots of claims for the first with that one.  Most likely it first showed up on Coney Island.  But who knows.

But the toppings are so important.  Mustard alone, mustard with pickle relish, alone with chili, ketchup with minced onions, ketchup alone, and dutchlike with mayo...
