[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"Americans get offended for the most irrational of reasons. It makes your case against true racism and xenophobia far less strong when you tear each other apart over ridiculous cases of "cultural appropriation" and weird hang-ups against asking people where they're from. " yep. [/quote] I also know Americans who call anyone who is not white a foreigner. You can't pretend, especially in this age of ICE checkpoints, that these questions aren't sometimes loaded with subtext.[/quote] Yup. My parents, who are of European ancestry and in their 80s, refer to anyone with East Asian ancestry as East Asian, even if they, their parents, and their grandparents were born in the US. (And then I tell my parents to stop doing that.)[/quote]
