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.
The majority ethnicity in Trinidad and Tobago is Indian. And they’re not a poor country nor do they have a tiny population, they’ve got a growing 1.5M and 700k Indian population who other than religion and race, are very much Carribbean people
