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.
Let me tell you something, I don’t go around seeing some brown person and think “foreigner”, I think “fellow human in Denmark”.
If they give me just any small inclination that they identify as danish, then I will view them as danish.
If on the other hand they speak a ghetto-arabic language with each other and they dress in ways that no or few danes do and if they behave in a threathening manner and if by their behaviour they make it very clear they are in opposition to what I consider Denmark, then I’ll take them on it and consider them as foreign.
