I find that Chris Rock has the best summary of it with his "I'm American" routine: "What, you think you’re better than somebody from France ’cause you came out of a pussy in Detroit?"

Nothing specifically American about it though. Many people in France think they're better than Syrian refugees because they're born from a pussy in Paris.

You can easily turn this around, since some people think the other citizens from EU should cater to their beliefs because they were born from a pussy in Kabul and Damascus.

I agree that country of origin is 100 percent luck. That doesn't mean all cultures are equal though.

The ancestors of that pussy in Paris built an advanced society with equal rights, education, respect, etc. That's why people born from a French pussy deserve that, while people from other societies do not.

Is it our fault that other people that have had the same hundreds of years to build advanced societies haven't done it? Do we have to literally live worse because of it?

For tens of millions of people that were conquered by, or had democratically elected leaders overthrown by, or had their economies crippled by (US, UK, Russia)

Yes. It is our fault.

You deserve precisely nothing because of what your ancestors did. Everyone deserves the same human rights on the basis of being born human.

People from other societies deserve all these good things too. Uncontrolled immigration may not be the best way to achieve this though.

No they do not deserve anything they and their ancestors haven't worked for. Nobody just "deserves" anything.

A few comments up you're saying the French deserved their stuff because their ancestors worked for it.

Nobody just "deserves" anything [just for being born. Someone has to work hard for everything]

Yet you claimed precisely that a few comments above.

Cognitive dissonance.
