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.
Oh, you probably need a little help. Elon Musk is South African. If he ever identified with the American hyphen, he would be South African-American. See that ‘South’ makes a difference. Also, we all know South Africa has White people, right? Otherwise, why do we know South Africa for their former Apartheid state?
