You can live in prob 99% of the world on 2100, and exist on that amount on most of the rest of that 1%

I dont have a problem with someone asking ethnicity, the problem is when they ask nationality or where are you from and then start impling youre not a "real american" when you answer their question with American.

I specifically say "The united states" or "US" OR "USA". Partly because people in latin america would get mad at me for saying im from america (as they say, "latin america is america too")

Actually every single country has ethnic minorities. Even if this wasnt the case, its not hard to realize that its possible/common for this to happen. This still even happens in countries with large ethnic minority populations.

Because I find it offensive the implication that im not a "real american" despite being born in the US, my family being here for several generations, and being a military veteran myself from a long line of veterans.

It gets tiring after hearing it for the 100th time.

Agree, because most people view black people as "real americans" because of the longstanding history and media representation.

Then they should ask what my ethnicity is not which country im from. But no I highly disagree people are only wanting to know what your ethnicity is and not your nationality.

 

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.
