It's easy if you ask someone Hispanic, or Asian looking, since they say "Oh well my parents are from XXX country". But when they ask a white person and the answer is "Well I'm just American!", they get upset. If their roots are purely from the USA, do they expect them to know what country their great, great, great, great grandparents are from?

As you know, most people assume they are foreigners and sometimes are surprised if they speak good english. Some have a sigh of relief. --- 3DS FC: 4554-0309-4782 ... Copied to Clipboard!

You speak English???" Especially with brown people "Hey Salam Patel, where did you immigrate from????" --- 3DS FC: 4554-0309-4782 ... Copied to Clipboard!

That's what I do as a white person. Which works 99% of the time.
1% is the minority getting mad that everyone is surprised they speak English and are born in the USA. So they ask "where are your people from!" and I reply "Duh, America! The best country in the world!" --- 3DS FC: 4554-0309-4782 ... Copied to Clipboard!
