When my Italian ancestor became a naturalized US citizen 5 years too late back in the late 1800s and now I can't get an EU passport
I'm fine! I can get citizenship elsewhere! My father was a naturalized American citizen! He came from... England. Fuck.
solution: learn hungarian (that place is a shithole but it works to get eu citizenship)
Impossible fucking language though, isn't it? One of my colleagues is natively Hungarian and even he says he doesn't like speaking his language because of how hard it is.
I probably shouldn't extrapolate from a single data point, but that's all that I know about it
At least you're aware you're extrapolating from single data point. That's more than most.
Thank god my great-great-great-father lived in bumfuck nowhere and never bothered naturalising. Living in Europe while it lasts really is nice…
What is that cutoff?
