I seriously doubt they're people who believe that Vikings and stuff are their heritage.

Actually, if they're white American, they probably do.

[(Anonymous)]

Really? I don't see that at all. The people around me identify with various heritages (I identify most with Irish/Scottish, myself, although I'm quite the mix of heritages) but I really can't say that I've ever seen someone who considers the Norse their heritage. Maybe I hang out with the wrong white people?

Okay, so if you were to write a fanfic with the whole Dumb!Thor concept, would you go with the "foreigner" angle or the "Old fashioned guy time travel-forwards" angle.

DA

Personally, I identify with German and English ancestry, so -shrugs- However, I wouldn't be going with the dumb Thor concept to begin with personally. I *hate* writing characters as idiots in general. So, I'd go with trying to figure out what he logically wouldn't be used to/know about [going with an example up-thread, cars for transportation or potentially phones for communication*] and go from there.

So, to answer your question, personally it would 'foreigner' - though, frankly, I'd want to avoid the whole 'Dumb!Thor' thing as a whole, and write something that makes sense [like how actual culture shock tends to work], *and* means he actually has a brain.

And believe it or not, so do lots of other people. And most the people who are culturally insensitive enough to play the 'dumb foreigner' blur the lines when it comes to the Western European heritage to include the Nordic mythologies in theirs.

...the people around you ID with various heritages but you're bewildered that people could consider themselves part of a large and active group whose descendants are spread throughout Europe and North America?

You're not hanging out with the wrong white people, you're just being ignorant. Try using your brain next time.
