Why are you German? This is baffling
Oh my god, Gretchen. You can't just ask people why they're German.
Why? No idea, it just happened to me at birth or so. I prefer to define my cultural identity more regionally, though.
Just FYI I have successfully sued my parents for being French (it's hereditary, like ~~rabies~~ having hairy feet)
I get the regional cultural identity, can relate
Did you just ask someone why they're German?
Yes apparently I'm the only one to be concerned by the situation.
If you see a libertarian on the street, you would ask "why are you a libertarian?"
If you see a clown on the street, you would ask "why are you a clown?"
If you see a fascist on the street, you would ask "could you please fuck off to the sea?"
And so on.
