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.

Actually every single country has ethnic minorities. Even if this wasnt the case, its not hard to realize that its possible/common for this to happen. This still even happens in countries with large ethnic minority populations.

Most countries have an identity as being a single people / culture and aren't obsessed about being mylti-ethnic like the US. You're taking your America centric views and applying it to the world when most of the world just doesn't think that way.
