Vent: It gets quite frustrating traveling as a nonwhite american. (alien.top)

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.

Slavery is well-known

Actually, much more than that: blues is well known, jazz is well known, hip hop is well known, Muhammad Ali, Michael Jackson, hip hop music, and Barack Obama are "well known" on every continent and in every country on earth.
