Leatrice has just entered the world of video dating, & one thing she says she's looking for in a man that he should be Norwegian-American. Leatrice has no Norwegian ethnic background, no particular interest in Norwegian culture, does not know the Norwegian language, has never been to Norway, & has no plans to go there. So why does she want to date a Norwegian-American man? | ||

Does she have an objectively good reason for wanting to date a Norwegian-American? Would it be ok if he was a Swedish-American? Could he be a non Norwegian-American adopted and raised by Norwegian-American parents? | ||

What is meant here by "Norwegian-American"? [a] a Norwegian by birth and upbringing now resident in the United States; [b] an American citizen at least one of whose parents is or was Norwegian; [c] an American citizen at least one of whose recent ancestors, though not necessarily a parent, is or was Norwegian; [d] other. Does Leatrice require that this gentleman be able to speak Norwegian? That he own property in Norway? That he have in his possession some artefact made in Norway? | ||

As Americans use the term, it means b or possibly c, provided that the person in question identifies as Norwegian-American. I doubt that someone with 3 grandparents from, say, Italy & 1 from Norway would count as Norwegian-American if he didn't think of himself that way.Exactly what constitutes American ethnic identity is unclear. Both my parents are ethnically Jewish (although not very religious) but I don't consider myself Jewish in any sense. Am I????? There's probably no single definite answer.

Is it for the reason of searching for someone who actually fill requirements asked for (maybe if they notice the N-A thing they will notice the "looking for man over six-foot tall" requirement)? Or perhaps if a N-A responds and identifies ethnicity it will show they listened to her requirements? Or perhaps anyone responding mentioning the requirement might be a potential candidate (as in "hi, i'm not N-A, really only Swedish-American but thought i'd say hi")? Yeah in my brief stint of internet dating, I realized that people often will broadcast messages and replies and not look for the "looking for"... | ||

Does the fact that most Norwegian americans live in the mid-northwest have anything to do with her requirement? So she wouldn't have to travel far to meet Mr. Perfect? How about the fact that there are only about 5 million or so of them? Is she trying to significantly cut down on the population she'd have to sift through? Religious preference relevant? | ||

So Leatrice's friend told her that she broke with a guy named John Andersson? Who had certain qualities Leatrice thought she might like? Did the friend mention she met him on a video-dating web? And does Leatrice assume he will go there again so she puts her ad hoping to increase the chances to meet John Andersson? | ||

Is this a sort of revenge on Leatrice's friend? By the way, is their relationship really friendly? Or are they rather cross with each other? Does Leatrice want to date John basically because of herself? her friend? John? | ||

Has the Norwegian guy done something horrible to Leatrice's friend? Perhaps this is a revenge plot? Is she hoping to lure John into some sort of sting or similar? Is she planning to murder John? Or to frame him for something? Or to shop him to the police? | ||

Or to shop him to the police? yes ********* SPOILER ****************** Leatrice's friend Verena told L she had met an exciting new man through video dating. She also mentioned that he was Norwegian-American. 2 weeks later, L. was murdered. She had no known enemies so Leatrice suspected the date & went into video dating herself to try to track him down. This is from a murder mystery, Personal Effects, by Marissa Priesand, where the relevant trait was actually wearing contact lenses, not being a Norwegian-American. Sorry it was so easy, & please check out my new puzzle you know where |
