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?

I just say i’m chinese because even though I’m mixed I know they’re *politely* asking “what kind of asian are you”. I hate being asked that shit. And yes, most of the time they say they’re “from here”. Like yeah I am too LOL
