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.

    You just need to read a book about the USA.

    No, you just need to read more books. I promise you I know more than you ever will.

    Tell me where your people are from and I will tell you what population was genocided by your people, and that they weren’t originally from there. I can get very far back to Neanderthals and Denisovans and show you

    I’ll ask you another Japan question. Can I say that modern Japanese aren’t “actually from Japan,” since the modern Japanese population are descendant from migrants less than 2 thousand years ago from modern day China, and the inhabitants before them were Austronesian?
