I’m thinking of wearing a button with the words: “Hi! I’m an OCWJWTKYN,NYR/SO/ES/MS. What kind of books do you like to read?” but I can’t find a button big enough!

When I was (much) younger and ethnic identity became a big thing I would always reply, “I’m an American.” . People would press the issue by saying something like, “No, I mean where are you from?” and I would reply, “Binghamton, NY.” . I did that partly because I’ve always been a contrary SOB and partly because I was tired of being insulted because of my Polish heritage.
For clarity here, tribe; any aggregate of people united by ties of descent from a common ancestor, community of customs and traditions, adherence to the same leaders, It is not exclusive to indigenous or aboriginal people.
I am an OWCAM (Old; white; Christian; American; male), and people all over this country and this world want to blame my demographic ‘tribe’ for their problems. Sorry, you’ll have to take a number and wait in line. Oh, and I stopped accepting invitations to play those blame games, so….

Fierce and nuts together sounds awfully dangerous.

You know, Opus, appropriating “tribe” is really offensive. Think again.

Oxford comma to the rescue! Does he have “fierce cuddly nuts” or is he “fierce, cuddly, nuts”?
