alt Hacker NewsBy immigrating, your parents(and you) took on the shared responsibility for the countries wrongdoings and great deeds.
When people talk about this stuff, it isn't about apportioning blame.
I'm not big on the stolen land thing because it's turtles all the way down, but this idea of divvying up blame makes no sense. We are all citizens.

If anything the parents have more responsibility by making a conscious choice vs simply being born in the US.
I don't agree with this point of view either.
I had no agency in being born and raised here. Are you saying that by staying in this country, I’m now responsible for stealing land 200 years ago? And my responsibility for stealing this land means I can’t be upset about supersonic jets?
