[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"I was living in the GCC for 10 years as the Amreekiya, the American (I’m fully Syrian, but I had lighter hair at the time, had ‘western’ ideas, and couldn’t speak Arabic as fluently), but when I got to America I realized I definitely was not really American in the typical sense either, I just couldn’t relate."[/quote] What’s wrong with this? She was born in Texas and moved back to the Me (lots of families did post 9/11) where she was known as the “American” in Dubai because she didn’t speak Arabic fluently and was American but then she comes here and realizes she’s not American (which DJT and folks like you would agree) Do you not realize for first gen the question “where are you from?” Is tricky to answer. People do not expect you to say west Texas. It’s a question automatically Implying your otherness /foreign nature so she’s right [/quote] Absolutely say west texas (Midland). That implies an oil & gas family and tons of those move to the Mideast or vice versa to learn in America and work abroad. Expat $$$$ living sector.[/quote]
