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.
I feel you but from a different perspective - I was born in Zimbabwe but I’m half Italian, half Irish, so I try find the fun in telling people where I was born because this is where I’m from vs my genetic makeup hahaha… It’s interesting how people will just smile and nod or ask “Wait, how are you white if you come from Africa?”
