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.

Let me tell you something, I don't go around seeing some brown person and think "foreigner", I think "fellow human in Denmark".

If they give me just any small inclination that they identify as danish, then I will view them as danish.

Ah, my apologies then, with you being able to judge so quickly that Rustykilo's and my friend aren't German I had wrongfully assumed you were basing that on something else. Of course, I should have known that you were able to meet them before and judge their clothing style as not sufficient, especially since we Germans are internationally famous for being well-dressed. :P

I do have to point out, though, that while I don't know much about Denmark, there is actually no mandatory dress code in Germany. Quite the opposite actually, if anything there are laws preventing a government from enforcing such. So judging their Germaness on their clothes would be if anything very Ungerman.

But that's good if people aren't judged by their ethnicity in Denmark, you guys are probably a lot more liberal than us then. Because if you ask any 'non-white' German here about their experiences, many will tell you that's not what happens here, no matter when they or their ancestors immigrated here or how 'well-behaved' they are.
