Fuck you. Why is it that you have to be white to be considered "truly American" to Europeans? I pretty much only identify with American culture and my family has lived in the U.S. longer than some of my white friend's families, and they don't have to deal with this shit.

I just moved to a new country where I don't know anyone. How am I supposed to meet people? Maybe going to a university organized event was a bad idea, but still...
As much flack as Amerifats get for being ignorant, most of us are probably more exposed to multiracial society and the concept of being an [insert ethnicity]-American without inherently being an immigrant. Not that people here don't assume stupid stuff too. But I imagine it happens less often.

What does it feel like to be from a family that hasn't been here since the 1600's
>>51062702
This is exactly what I'm talking about. Why do I have to be Chinese and not American? I've never been to China. My family is fully assimilated to American culture. Why can't I just be considered an American? I know people who's families came to the U.S. from Europe in the 60's and no one asserts they are Italian, Polish or whatever else. Hell, they don't even consider themselves [insert nationality here]-American. It's bullshit.
>>51062971
Nah you gotta offend them
If they get that easily offended you don't really want to know them anyway desu
>>51062359
No, actually, you have to be white or black. If a black person claims to be from the USA, no one's gonna ask them where they are "actually" from either.
>>51062629

You're complaining about the dumbest shit anon. Jesus Christ stop being such a sensitive vagina.
>>51063064
Blacks aren't really considered American either

There was a huge push in the early 20th century to get rid of the hyphenated American but it uh never stuck

>>51062842
No, they didn't actually mean that. They never bothered to ask the ethnicity of the few other Americans there who were white. They asked them which state they were from. What if I were to ask them where their ancestors came from 100+ years ago? It's not like people in Europe stayed in the same place for the entirety of their history. That would be a weird question to ask when you first meet someone. It was clearly implied that because I look Asian I can't possibly be American.
You are American by nationality and Chinsese by ethnicity

See, I've never seen that happen in the US. For all of the talk that Europeans do about acceptance and integration, they're really the most bigoted people on earth and are generally too cowardly to even admit that they hate foreigners.
>>51063235
You fucker, they wanted to show interest and they know there is a huge cultural differences between asian countries.
Showing interest =/= racism
Tell them your shit history and move on pussy.

I know its all rooted in naiveté. I'm not so much butthurt or offended, just annoyed. I've had to explain this >>51063320 so many times that I'm ready to just give up and respond "Just kidding, I'm actually a Chinaman ching chong bing bong."
>>51062359
Liberals are obsessed with "le authentic eastern culture", you're expected to be a muh heritage faggot because of the mindset that western culture is somehow boring or inferior that they've pushed
>>51063235
Why do you get offended when someone asks you where you're from ? I'm from Italy, I've been living in Belgium for more than 10 years. People still ask me where I'm from, because of my slight accent and my looks, I guess, but I take absolutely no offence in it. I consider myself more Belgian than Italian, but if anything I'm proud of my roots and talking about them. (Actually I consider myself really an European citizen, but I know these kind of comments trigger a barrage of shitposting here).

Asian are like 5% of America´s population. Most Europeans learn about America from American media, where there are barely any Asians.
>>51063771
I understand that some people don't know shit / don't want to know shit about their cultures or heritage (I know more about american culture than about my own) but it's different when it comes to race
if you're a chink enough to look like a fucking chink, knowing basic shit about being chink seems like a common sense
otherwise it looks like you're just straight-up denying your roots or some shit
>>51062359
What do you think would happen to a white male who is 3rd generation Chinese and living in mainland China, born to purebred white people who migrated over there? They would probably ask why his skin his white and he doesn't have slanty eyes because he is a minority and the poor little white boy would have to scream "I am offended, i am pure Chinese man!" (In some shitty Chinese/Mandarin accent.
Deal with it, you look different. I've had people ask me what my roots are (I'm white) and I don't fucking know, so I just say I'm not sure because I'm roughly a 3rd or 4th gen Canadian.
Would you rather people ask you "So, which part of China are you from?"

>>51063616
This too. Literally never dealt with any real racism. The closest thing to any form or racism I've ever encountered are weird stares from old people on rare occasions when I'd go out with my blonde ex but they never even said anything. I've heard Swedes and Brits say shit like how non-ethnic Europeans will never be fully accepted in their societies while claiming that they're full open minded. I think that's why Europeans push "multiculturalism" so much. They'll never truly accept their immigrants as their own even after they're culturally assimilated so they have to compartmentalize them.
Why should you be accepted for anything except for what you truly are, Chinese?

Buddy, I'm white and my family has been here for generations, and I still get asked "but where are you FROM" and I have to tell them from England to get them to shutup.
Apparently "here" and "I'm Canadian" are not acceptable answers for people.

This. You know it's funny that a lot of people I know consider Europeans to be open-minded and less racist then Americans but when I traveled Europe and I see posts on /int/ I found that Europeans are the most secretly racist people on Earth. Although, I wouldn't call as far as racist maybe as much as it is "polite" xenophobia
>>51071390
Xenophobic yes, though racism is defined as having a superiority complexes based on racial preferences so I don't know if Europeans are truly racist in that sense as they seem to be pretty xenophobic towards Whites of differing ethnicities as well. They are definitely not open minded in that regard, except for maybe the French. They seem to generally accept non-genetically people as French as long as they assimilate. Northern Europeans definitely not.
We think the US are only Europeans and niggers.

Stop being a little bitch. It happens to white people too.
>>51071741
The main racial conflict in the US is between blacks and whites. Blacks like to think other races are involved too but that's far from the truth. That and the way are media is really only shows blacks and whites plus the fact that blacks now dominant most mainstream
>except for maybe the French. They seem to generally accept non-genetically people as French as long as they assimilate. Northern Europeans definitely not.
I feel like France and the UK are the few European countries that do this. There is such thing as Black-British and shit. The fact that they've had ethnic minorities a bit longer than other (Western) European countries probably allows for them to have these categories
>>51071795
Most people here don't know shit about the US, their only source of knowledge are American 90s sitcoms. I remember that there was a picture of an American crowd in a school book and one guy asked why there are so many foreigners (i.e. non-whites for him).
