You're as native to New York as the horses that came over on the Mayflower. As a native American, its always a trip to see immigrants looking down on shiner, newer immigrants. Talking about natives and non natives like that means anything in a gateway city like NYC, SF, or LA is laughable.
You can be a South Brooklyn chump all you want. It doesnt mean youre any more "new york" than an Amish kid who came up to the city on rumspringa and never left.
I wasn't trying to be rude to you or your heritage, I was just giving someone insight to the mindset of a local while also trying to make a friend. I'm really sorry if I offended you. I'm not a horse. I'm people. I'm hurt by your use of immigrant. I'm a war refugee and a lot of my family died before we were lucky enough to land in nyc. I'm lucky to be alive and I consider myself lucky to count myself as a South Brooklyn chump.
