Read the actual definition of "cultural heritage" explain to me how your Parents, Grandparents, etc. NEVER maried a mixed national, NEVER left the originating country and ALWAYS spoke their native tongue and passed it to the kids as well who passed it to theirs etc., and then tell me how a non-citizen has any right to lay claim to a statue or dam in a country they have never visited or seen let alone acquires a sense of self from it.
