Your know your ethnic group's arrived when you hear a guy telling his kid to eat his dinner because there are starving kids in Bosnia.
When I was a kid, we were told to eat our dinners because there were starving kids in Africa. Who knew that, so many years later, the phrase is still a good way of gauging the latest political hot spot:
"Eat your dinner because there's a kid starving in (fill in the name of your ethnic group here)!"
