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.
FYI-
Lots of white people get asked this in america since everyone in the country is pretty much an immigrant. Usually of european descent especially after ww1 and 2. People just answer my grandparents were German or Italian whatever. It’s really common. No one is asking because american=white. They’re just asking what part of the world you melted into america from.
