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.

That doesn't account for illegals lol, do you even know how many illegals are in the US? Tens of millions, mostly in big cities.

Do you know how many they are? No one knows the true number and even then they aren't American they're illegals.

And btw these numbers always point in the same direction, whites are trending down more and more each year. If you consider under 18yo the % of whites is less than the official one reported in every city.

This I agree with, the white population of the US is decreasing and will continue to decrease.

Whites in the US are the majority only in rural areas.

But that makes them the majority overall.

Literally the official statistics all say the same thing, that white people are the majority. Maybe illegals will change that but no one knows the true number of illegals.

You can pick and choose areas where white people are the minority and I can pick and choose areas where white people are the clear majority but overall white people are the majority.

"As currently required by law, the U.S. Census Bureau attempts to count all persons in the U.S. living in residential structures, including prisons, dormitories, and similar "group quarters" in the official decennial census. People counted in the census include citizens, noncitizen long-term visitors, and immigrants, including undocumented ones."

So even the official statistics will include undocumented immigrants but of course it won't be all undocumented immigrants.
