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.

I know Germany is stereotypically that country with strict rules for everything, but you will be happy to learn that it does not actually police its citizens about what they can eat and how they can communicate.

I do enjoy Turkish food a lot as well, though Korean food is probably still my favorite. :)
