Aristocrats were not specific to the United States.
No shit. But you're American.
Your point being?
Precisely. Naming yourself after a class and country to which you don't belong seems treasonous.
When did I name myself after a country? Aristocracies proper (as opposed to plutocracies) no longer exist in western countries, so nobody belongs to that class.
A former class that isn't yours. A class that never existed in your country.
I see. You're making the "cultural appropriation" argument for the word aristocrat.
Is it normal to be proud of Confederate flag and be black?
