I'm not so sure of this one. I was born in the United States, grew up in Canada and moved to the US, and because they didn't allow dual citizenship when I was a kid, I can't go back to Canada.
But I would have been happy to have two countries as my own. In fact I feel a bit more comfortable in Canada, having grown up there. There is a certain amount of social miss-match between someone who grew up in Saskatchewan and Californians...

Unfortunately, in the Age of Multiculturalism, as opposed to the Age of Assimilation, loyalty to one's new homeland is too often not even expected.
As for this line "got treated badly and got a weird look from a Jewish person when she said she is an Iranian," it raises several questions in my mind. How was the cashier treated badly? Just the weird look? If that is the worst thing that ever happens to someone in this life he is going to be just fine. Also, the bit about "a Jewish person." How would one now? Was this person wearing a T-shirt that said "Once you go Jew you'll never get blue" or something? Last name with "stein" in it?

Oops I meant "How would one KNOW?"
