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.
Honestly if you can speak English without an “accent”, we will automatically assume and consider you as one of us. This is subconsciously true even if we know you aren’t American or Canadian.
Where can they do that? Even American English comes with different flavors.
Most of the country (using the general American accent that’s most represented through popular media).
