Well police will still use the shorthand, as will a lot of people, but the official label should be corrected at the very least - and our way of thinking of ourselves should include our heritage and should not be cut off by the Atlantic ocean alone, especially when we went over to Europe only a short time ago to save their asses during WW2 and gave a lot of our guys to do it. So we have a right to our European roots and it should be something we're proud of, not something we just shrug off in the name of getting along or something like that.
I agree with you here - being out with our fellow countrymen enjoying a good game and everyone being, ya know, on each others team is a great way to spend a weekend. Just realize, that when you get home and things calm down, each one of those 'every color and religion under the sun' groups gets to still be on a team that they can identify with, that they can be proud of, that they can celebrate and that they can use to wield political power against... you, who has no group identity. So I'm not saying it's some great thing to have to do, but the fact remains that every single other group is doing it, except ours.
