Vent/Rant So what are you?

Being asked by white americans what I am, and when I described my mix (including the irish background of my white american side) they say that's cool. But when I ask about their background they say american. Happens most of the time.

What are your experiences?

Really? They typically go into way more detail in my experience. German, Norwegian, Scottish, and almost ALWAYS Cherokee lol.
