Tired of constantly having conversations like this:
“Where are you from?”
“USA”
“But where are you really from?/But whats your nationality?/Are you actually american?.. like… full american?”
American isnt a race! American =/= white. Yes im “full american” even though im ethnically latino! If you want to know my ethnicity/race then just ask me that instead of implying im not a “real” american.
I know most people asking this arent doing so from a place of malice, but damn does it get tiring after the 100th time.
bruh. I get this all the time.
But I’m genuinely asking this and not trying to interogate you. Why do you care?
But I’m genuinely asking this and not trying to interrogate you. Why do you care?m lying (not in a mean way they’re just like “nah really though”) and tbh even then I didn’t care.
Because I find it offensive the implication that im not a “real american” despite being born in the US, my family being here for several generations, and being a military veteran myself from a long line of veterans.
It gets tiring after hearing it for the 100th time.
embrace it and turn it around on them. “i’m not a real american, i’m not fat, i don’t fuck my sister, i don’t kill minorities.” Watch their eyes glaze over as their brain reboots.
