Why do people think Stipe Miocic is American?

[FightorFlight20]

Hey, we came here to talk MMA, not listen to racist idiots open their twat.

 

[BrazilianDude]

He's a firefighter. That's as American as it gets.

Lol
I agree he is american, but if you're gonna claim all firefighters you should let the ones in other countries know, so they can decide if they wanna move to their new home country.

I realize you're probably joking, but considering it's Sherdog one never knows.

 

[mjmj]

He's Croatian American. Don't make it harder than it has to be.

 

[ocfightfan]

Don't be confused by that "we are all one" crap or phony immigration laws.

Miocic can live in America, benefit from the rights, services and laws of America.
But Stipe is Croatian, make no mistake about it.

Let's say you're of Japanese heritage, born and raised in California, lived there all your life.....you're Japanese, bro.

The TS is proof that Bisping winning the title causes brain damage not only to his opponents, but his fans as well.

He was born and raised in America. He didn't throw out the first pitch in Zagreb you big goof.

 

[CerebralKnievel]

Lol

Those aren't firefighters any more than a hamburger and freedom fries cooked in el Salvador is a true sumptuous plate of united states glory. Both just fallacious knockoffs of #1.

What's the point of this SHIT thread? Tell me.

 

[frontkick1]

miocic is as american as it gets

 

[Ack Ack]

Only Indians are americans then if we use your bro logic

 

[McGangsta]

Even though i've lived in Holland for 20 years I don't identify as Dutch. It's part of me for sure.
You are what you choose to be, so fuck it, be a unicorn.

If Stipe considers himself an American all the power to him.

The difference is that Holland is not an immigration nation. people assimilate and become "american" all the time, if Stipe considers himself american he certainly is american

 

[steve38]

Deal with it, OP. And we're claiming Bisping now, too.

 

[MCMXCIX]

Because he was born in America. Just like that who "i'm African American" bullshit....No you're American. You weren't born in Africa lol. It's so stupid.

You guys used to be smarter (on avg) than N. Americans. What happened?

I've met two Americans one from New York who lives on my road who wears clothes far too big for her and doesn't pay attention to her hygiene and the other is my wife's cousins wife who I kicked out for eating my then baby's food. Who then told my wife if my baby's bones were soft she'd of eaten my baby too. Yep, American's are best avoided like the plague.

 

[Yokimoto]

Croatian name, American guy.

 

[datfnguy]

Then only natives are American.

No you are American
Your nationality is where you are born.....
Stipe is American
All those Americans who call themselves Irish and Italian are American

Any way it's meaningless

It has no effect on anything

 

[daltonames]

Exactly which Native American tribe are you from then TS? Get back on the short bus moron, there's gotta be trump rally going on somewhere.

 

[TapIt]

After reading this thread I have now confirmed that Stipe is African American.

 

[Toad Frogan]

When was the last time you've seen a fire outside of America?

 

[Xuh]

If they started in Africa, then moved somewhere else and 'changed', they still originated in Africa. Sometimes I question the intelligence of posters on this forum and then I realize, nope, no need to question anything. People really are that dumb.

well for starters 'they' aren't one thing aren't one thing that came from somewhere and ended up somewhere else but many things that change(d) over generations in many different places, referring them to as a single entity is just a convenient shorthand, but I guess that's over your head.

The point is, that what they turned into originated outside Africa (in adaptation to non-african environments and also probably breeding with other humanoids who had lived and developed outside it for 100,000's of years), and therefore it is erroneous to say that they 'originated in africa' just because their distant ancestors once lived there.

Holland is one of the most multiculturally diverse countries in the world.
They are less nationalistic, true, but most immigrants have always gone to Holland.
