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.

    Japanese overall are some of the kindest, most polite people you’ll encounter.

    Most people just say Polite.

    It’s not as much a warm kindness, as much as a polite presentation.

      Absolutely. There’s a politeness you feel when out and about in public in Japan, but Japanese people can actually act pretty coldly to you as a foreign tourist.
