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.

      Bro in 2023 pochos will say actual Mexicans in Mexico don’t look Mexican. Look at the pocho outrage at the Netflix series “Made in Mexico.” They said they were “too white” to be ‘actual Mexicans’ - people born and living in Mexico City
