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.
What you are saying is that a person of a different race will stand up more in a homogeneous country. That seems pretty logic to me, without putting racism into it.
I live in South East Asia, alternating between Indonesia and Vietnam, often in remote locations away from touristic spots. As a 6’4” white guy I tend to attract a lot of unwanted attention, but I never feel it is because of racism.
