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.

      Good luck keeping America together once it is no longer a majority white country. It will break apart.

      Rome did the same. Look into the later stage emperors and how the army got increasingly multicultural until basically the army was made up of germanics who then decided, hey, who are we protecting.

      Then don’t complain about the school shootings and white nationalists and everything else that comes with a low trust society, since you’re taking a very nationalistic view there already

        The school shootings and white nationalism are not because they’re more open to immigrants, otherwise Canada would be a failed state at this point and Toronto would have a homicide rate that puts Central America to shame.
