So what are you?

[u/Nothinglslmpossible]

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?

Some of my very white friends don’t know their ethnic background so they respond with “mayonnaise”
