Since I first came here, I noticed a particular zealotry amongst some Americans of Southern European descent: A need to broadcast any contribution that someone of their ethnicity may have made and/or exaggerate their ethnicities presence and history here as well as waxing on poetically about how multicultural the nation's largest cities are. However, the destructiveness of this disorder has manifested itself in my latest thread simply asking for a classification:

I have decided to help my fellow Americans.
Admittance is the first step to recovery. Here are the signs that you may have WAIC:
1. When your family and/or friends talk about wasps, you're actually referring to people.
2. You try to pass yourself off as Italian
3. You are Italian
4. You've been told that your blond hair, is in fact, not blond at all.
5. There is an old saying you were taught about the lack of trustworthiness of blue eyed people.
6. People watch you suspiciously at airports, marathons, and gas stations
7. You think your ethnic hub is just as phenotypically representative of white Americans as the small towns spread throughout the country.
8. You use hand gestures as you talk.
9. You're using them to express your anger right now.
This is a work in progress. Please help to give more signs, and any causes or treatments for WAIC.
Thanks
