No, you have a low iq n can’t grasp simple things
You’re so called German (probably a mutt, but whatever) who indentify as American cause your great grandfather came a century ago n most likely changed his name from Müller or Schmidt to Miller or smith to hide his Nazi roots.
You probably grew up in an Americanized household don’t speak your native language n have no connection to the old country
Stipe on hand other hand grew up in immigrant household, speaks the language n is still connected to his old country
So in other words
Stipe = Croat who lives in USA n embraces his Croatian roots
You = confused German who lost touch with his old country n clings on American identity
