I have friends who are Italian and Irish, and they are always mentioning the fact that they do this and that because they are Irish or Italian. In America, alot of people don't have strong ethnic identities (being mixed with alot of things), so I could see how that might be strange for them.<br><b>References : </b><br> People who have strong identities tend to mention their identities…..because that’s a strong part of who they are.

I'll take this seriously. Seriously? 1. This is quite a generalization based on what sounds like very limited experience. 2. Think about the experience itself. You meet 100 strangers. 5 of them mention they are Jewish. 95 don't mention anything about their religious identity. One might think: Oh my gosh. Those 5 Jews mentioned their religious identity. I guess Jews must keep bringing it up. Or, one might notice: Hmmm 95 people didn't mention anything. Who knows what their religious identity is? Maybe they are ALL Jews who just didn't mention it? 3. And as another poster pointed out, one might ask, "why do Christians / Muslims / African Americans / Greek Americans / Italian Americans / Amway members / Costco members / Red Cross Volunteers / Girl Scout volunteers keep mentioning their identity? Don't many people mention their identity?<br><b>References : </b><br> Ok. I’ll take this seriously.

Seriously?

1. This is quite a generalization based on what sounds like very limited experience.

2. Reckon about the experience itself.

You meet 100 strangers.

5 of them mention they are Jewish.

95 don’t mention anything about their religious identity.

One might reckon: Oh my gosh. Those 5 Jews mentioned their religious identity. I estimate Jews must keep bringing it up.

Or, one might notice: Hmmm 95 people didn’t mention anything. Who knows what their religious identity is? Maybe they are ALL Jews who just didn’t mention it?

3. And as another poster keen out, one might question, "why do Christians / Muslims / African Americans / Greek Americans / Italian Americans / Amway members / Costco members / Red Cross Volunteers / Girl Scout volunteers keep mentioning their identity?

Don’t many people mention their identity?
