Comments by "etherdog" (@etherdog) on "Why this Canadian made a documentary about being Japanese" video.

Greg, I wasn't expecting you to read out my comment but it does represent my gratitude for the work you do. Now we are trying to find a couple of hours, and some popcorn, to watch the documentary. When it comes to reflecting on what it means to be "American" (meaning, in this context, a citizen of the US), I think on a certain level is the oath that one takes in order to be granted citizenship: Basically to "support and defend the Constitution of the United States." Those of us born in the US do not have to take this oath, but for anyone who does, they are "American".
