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.

    Then don’t complain about the school shootings and white nationalists and everything else that comes with a low trust society, since you’re taking a very nationalistic view there already

      The school shootings and white nationalism are not because they’re more open to immigrants, otherwise Canada would be a failed state at this point and Toronto would have a homicide rate that puts Central America to shame.
