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.
Well, asking that question as an American or in America can be really rude. But it is nonsense to get pissed off by expecting people born and rasied in less diverse countries where ethnicity is the same as nationality to be fully aware of how it was founded and have the same level of sensitivity.
