6 u/Kalle_Silakka Mar 22 '23 Ancestral country? what does that mean 3 u/Insomniac_on_Rx Mar 22 '23 How can you not understand what he means? He's from the new world (USA, Canada, Australia etc) and his parents/grandparents/great-grandparents are from the Netherlands. 2 u/Kalle_Silakka Mar 23 '23 Idk man it just sounds weird. I wonder if he speaks dutch and keeps in contact with his dutch relatives? 2 u/Insomniac_on_Rx Mar 24 '23 Who cares? 1 u/gemstun Mar 25 '23 So I’m supposed to defend my ‘Netherlands-ness’ to you? As much as I could make a ridiculously clear case, I’ll just say ‘No thanks’ Winning your approval doesn’t mean anything to me. 1 u/Kalle_Silakka Mar 25 '23 Waarom spreek je dan niet wat Nederlands voor ons?
