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.
Another reason why America is an amazing country! So many amazing countries in the world that I have had the pleasure of visiting, and I’m always happy to call America my home. We may be kinda fucked, but hey aren’t we all a little?
Ya we don’t get enough credit for how open we are. People hate that we aren’t perfect but it’s pretty good
