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.

I fucking hate driving. Hate cars. Americans are soooooooo into their cars.
But its been easy to make my life fairly car free in the US.
Issues come with things like hauling the dogs around. You can take your dog in the train in France. No american transport system allows this unless it’s a “service dog”. I don’t find 99,9% of cities in the US totally car free-even the ones that say they are green like Boulder or Denver.
