I honestly just don't understand this idea that we need to "connect to a homeland". Yeah, it's cool that you can trace your family's history to different places, but I feel no more "connection" to Germany than I do to Papua New Guinea. It's completely alien to me.

And I certainly don't feel "part of a European people" who, fun fact: Historically have never felt that they were part of a "people" with other Europeans either. This idea just looks like pathetic nostalgia for a "people" & socio political landscape that never existed.

Yeah, but those racial terms have always been changing i.e. German, Italian, Irish, Scottish etc people weren't even consider to be White somewhat recently.
