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.

    Asian man living in NYC here. I can’t even get into a damn Uber without having this conversation.

    “So where you from?”

    “You just picked me up from my house.”

    “You know what I mean.”

    “I sure do.”
