Anyway, the post was about whether or not she was nigerian and she isnt, she was born here. Being proud of your heritage is ok if thats the truth, but to use said facts as a vehicle to promote some weird cultural notion for personal means is pretty sad.

And that's perfectly fine too, I'm just saying, that some people identify more with their parents nationality even if they were born in a different country. I don't see the issue with it or why it should be a problem for anyone else
