Meat Merchants.

This is from an interview with a writer named Christopher Higgs and I think it is kind of great:

“(I wanted) to explore the idea of what it means to be an American for someone who did not choose to be an American. That’s where I’m at, as far as nationality. I think it’s hilarious when people who were born in the U.S. are proud of being American -- they didn’t do shit to be proud of, they didn’t choose their parents and therefore didn’t choose to be Americans, they just won the luck of the draw, could’ve just as easily been born to Hungarian meat merchants. Being proud to be an American when you did not make the conscious choice or suffer any hardship or struggle to do so is the same as being proud of winning a soccer match because the other team didn’t show up. The only people who should be proud to be Americans are immigrants: people who chose to be Americans.”
