I was born in England, lived in Denmark for a few years, and my family settled in the US. I speak American to Americans and British to my family. Most people assume I’m American, and people often make me uncomfortable by talking about “people from over there” and debating immigration reform without hesitation. Well, I’m from over there – wherever “there” is in their mind, and I wish that more people would embrace the diversity that makes this country so grand.
