What kind of nonsense is this? Let me say in no uncertain terms that this is offensive.
Your from Queens and you should be proud that you're from Queens.
Damn straight. A proud New Yorker from Queens.
Your sovergnity was wrongfully stripped in 1900.
Wrong. In accordance with the popular will, we joined the big leagues in 1898 when we took our rightful status as a part (the biggest part, by the way) of the greatest city on earth, as opposed to a motley collection of backwater Wrong Island hick towns.
Furthermore people like you always force me to ask "Manhattan?".
People like you show how important it is for us Queens folks to be absolutely clear that we are from the City.
