I hope I didn't offend you, but on the last message I was actually complimenting you :) And I am from the U.S. I never considered
Dutch and German being the some race just with a different culture (if that's what you are trying to say) .
Kind of like how Mexicans aren't Spanish, they speak spanish, and they're mixed with Indian and Spaniard, but it's offensive (somewhat) to call them spanish. Or a Puerto Rican speaks Spanish, but aren't spanish.
And I knew Dutch and German were very similar, but like how Chinese and Japanese are similar, but totally different. I always thought that German and Dutch, like Chine and Japan, were just similar, but of the opposite race. But now that it's all clear and OK.
Thank you, Mr. Cleveland Kent Evans :) :)
