You’re ashamed? My wife could have had nearly pure British-descended (last documented immigrant in her family arrived in 1628, some of her ancestors were here to meet them, but the Native American blood is pretty thin by now) swamp Yankee offspring, but she was somehow brainwashed into marrying a Slavic untermensch. Oh, the shame of it all, but at least our daughters are strong enough to pull the plow if the mule dies.
