Just a little extra for the hell of it.
Seems not liking the term “Homeland” is popular...
Absolutely. (8+ / 0-) I've been saying this for years. America is an idea. That is what provides our sense of nationhood - fealty to democratic, egalitarian, peaceful ideas. We're not a nation because we were born in this land, or because we share the same ancestry - none of that BS.
And it's worth noting that, as far as I can tell, the person who introduced the concept of "homeland" was none other than the odious Joe Lieberman.

It's the Joooooooooooos! Sound familiar?
Worth noting; 'homeland' is objectionable because it Connotates sovereignty. Sovereignty is bad because it implies a nation that has control over its borders and who can participate in its governance.
