The word “Afro-Hungarian” means nothing for me, as it’s just an expression. ? http://midjobs.com/blog/what-do-you-think-the-word-afro-hungarian-means-nothing-for-me-as-its-just-an-expression/ MidJobs.com Thu, 12 Apr 2012 20:59:25 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: mandy_010 http://midjobs.com/blog/what-do-you-think-the-word-afro-hungarian-means-nothing-for-me-as-its-just-an-expression/comment-page-1/#comment-239 mandy_010 Sat, 25 Jul 2009 14:27:44 +0000 http://midjobs.com/blog/what-do-you-think-the-word-afro-hungarian-means-nothing-for-me-as-its-just-an-expression/#comment-239 I'm not sure what your question really is, but I enjoyed reading your bio. As with all emigrants, sure, there is still affection for the land of the ancestors, but, you are a citizen of the land you were born in, and that is where your heart is. You describe yourself as "European," and perhaps you are more able to embrace Europe than the Magyars are (being somewhat latecomers to Europe themselves!), but if Hungarian's your culture, than a proud Hungarian you are. :) As for the immigrant insecurity that makes those others vilify the adopted country and glorify the old, if it were so wonderful in the old country, they'd be there.

I only consider them in terms of how they behave and what they can do. Your question seems to relate to the relevance of labels, and what I have said before should indicate that I attach no significance to them whatever. I have no way of evaluating your experience or your prospects; but your extraordinary command of the English language in a Hungarian environment makes me encourage you to settle for nothing but the best. You deserve it. I have never considered people in terms of who they are. I only consider them in terms of how they behave and what they can do.
