I know the US is somewhat obsessed with ancestry and that it can be figured by genes. Being German myself I can tell you there is nothing like German genes. Or French genes, or any other European nation as far as that is concerned.

I understand your point, and yes, there is a somewhat unhealthy obsession with “heritage” in the US.
