minus-squaremech@feddit.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up0·12 days agoThere are worse first questions. Like the “Where are you from? No, I mean originally” you get asked in Germany if you aren’t white and straight-haired.
minus-square「黃家駒 Wong Ka Kui」 | (aka: 鳳凰院 凶真 Hououin Kyouma)@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up1·12 days agoOmg this fucking question. I swear, white people never get asked that question. It’s always like Hispanics/Latinos and Asians getting asked that. I think I’ve internalized it a bit that I realized when I was in school, I never asked where the white classmates are from. Feel so weird that “white” is “default” in the US. Makes me feel like a perpetual foreigner.
