its nothing mean or malicious

yeah

most of the time when you tell people were you were born n stuff, the reaction is like 'oh cool'

i know its not mean or malicious, it just really irks me when the base assumption is that im not from here

usually people don’t “buy” it when you say you’re local because they have previous experience with individuals who are new to a place like you coming from other countries. this isn’t meant to be an attempt to tell you you don’t belong.

when i was born and raised an american its still assumed that im not from here

I still have people asking what state I come from when I talk

why not just answer “i was born and raised in the United States” then and kill them having to ask follow-up questions

yeah same

Its okay if that bothers you Floof

i don’t look like most of the people in my city

Just give your answer and dont follow through if they ask something else

Despite living here for years, people are dumbys

*pat pat*

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

People r dumb

it doesn’t offend me when people assume i’m not from Florida

i’ve had people ask if i was from Canada or Europe

it’s just how it is

Well thats better than being told to "go back to China" and whatnot

i’m not saying that, kotu

good

(although i have been told to go fuck myself and move back to the country by faggot city kids from the area, it is what it is)

any sort of “go back to x” shit is stupid

causes unnecessary problems

it’s almost universally unprovoked no matter what context it comes up in

last thing i’d want to do is defend that bullshit

if you or your family worked to establish themselves in the United States, do earnest jobs, and become citizens, there is no reason for you to feel unwelcome as a fellow citizen

or be treated as if you aren’t a citizen with as much right to live in the US as whoever it is saying it

@Fluffles you went to public school, right?

yeah

more like pubic school

Yeah I agree with that

Like

If you are just a normal person you deserve to feel welcome

tbh if ur a citizen ur an american really

But some people dont really think that way and make a lot of noise about it

It all comes back to people are dumb

im dumb but not that dumb

Freed is dumby

But will pat
