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 they should ask what my ethnicity is not which country im from. But no I highly disagree people are only wanting to know what your ethnicity is and not your nationality.

        Just assume that is the question they intend. You clearly know that it is. Why go out of your way to find offense?

      If they don’t care which country we’re from, then maybe don’t ask which country we’re from?
