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.
Yea I get you. I didn’t for the longest believe I was American even though I was born and raised here. It’s sad how we are conditioned to believe American is only white. It’s sad because honestly unless you tell me otherwise or I clearly see you aren’t American, I assume you are just American.
