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.

This mentality is why everyone wants to move to America and America leads the world in innovation.

Good luck keeping America together once it is no longer a majority white country. It will break apart.

Rome did the same. Look into the later stage emperors and how the army got increasingly multicultural until basically the army was made up of germanics who then decided, hey, who are we protecting.

Lol, multiculturalism ruins societies? Better tell those idiot backwards Singaporeans and their nasty multicultural society.

Cool, now let me execute weed dealers in America too. You better not complain or that's hypocritical

Singapore is majority han-chinese with a miniscule muslim population.

It's also a defacto dictatorship.

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.
