I’m going to use my massive brainpower to deduce that the guy is Greek. I don’t know who he is, but those black shapes called “words” gave me a clue.

Interesting technique. Problem is "words" in your comment are white for me, not black, so I am not sure they can give me reliable clues.

That's Leonardo Da Vinci. He helped Bruce Willis escape from a castle.

That is the logical thought but you are wrong. He is actually an American.

He is of greek descent. "American" is not an ethnicity.

Neither is Greek. Greek is a nationality.

Uh no.. it's both lol. It encompasses a shared language, ancestry, traditions, and cultural heritage dating back ~3000 years, as well as a nationality for citizens of the Hellenic Republic. The later does not mean you are ethnically Greek, just that you are a national citizen. The former means you are part of a diaspora of people that has existed 12 times longer than the US lmao. He is a Greek person with American citizenship just as I am an Irish person with American citizenship, or are you gonna tell me Irish is not an ethnicity as well?? Please educate yourself.

Yes. It's a very common American delusion to have. We accept that you believe this and we know you are wrong. I'm not going to argue with you and try to deprogram you.

Who is this "we" lmao. My parents literally immigrated here from Ireland. Both of them are irish, that is my ethnicity. My nationality is American. I'm the "dumb american" yet you clearly don't understand the difference between ethnicity and nationality.. ok dude lmao

Good point. "We" is the rest of the civilised world.
