@maimaikkyu @thatvirgobrat4 @IGayiah but I sometimes get the impression that some people might really feel a strong tie to that heritage if they were in my shoes and I think that’s kinda foolish, I just feel Canadian. But maybe I have a privileged colonizer perspective, I don’t know
English
its so funny how people from racially/ethically homogenous countries cannot wrap their minds around the fact that the US is a racially/ethnically diverse place where people (esp immigrants) tend to identify with their native identity instead of being just “american”

왜 미국인들이 자꾸 정체성을 찾으려 하는지 모르겠다. 인종이 무슨 인종이든 너는 그냥 미국인이야. 본토 한국에서도 한국계 미국인들을 한국인이라 생각하지않습니다
English
@IGayiah @thatvirgobrat4 Because it’s the internet and I wanted to share my perspective
English
@crscndo_ @thatvirgobrat4 like they’re saying that someone born outside the us automatically assumes an “american” identify and should forget their roots
English
@crscndo_ @thatvirgobrat4 no shade and not to be rude but why are you here? this discussion is about immigrants and their descendants😭
English
@maimaikkyu @crscndo_ @thatvirgobrat4 and arent like french canadian’s extremely proud of their french heritage?

@Smallrock32 @TAplomb_ @nghtmarefuel it’s because we are the only country with ppl who understands that race may not exist biologically but it definitely exists socially.
English
@TAplomb_ @IGayiah @nghtmarefuel Never mentioned latinos but racism also includes ethnicity and cultural differences. Again u.s diversity brain breaks people. The average u.s citizen has deeper understanding of race than an outher country hands down.
English
@Smallrock32 @IGayiah @nghtmarefuel Also I love the American diversity brain putting brown people in camps and detaining 5 year olds, truly an enlightened people.

@TAplomb_ @Smallrock32 @nghtmarefuel no one said it was. you are just throwing around slop u heard on twitter to sound smart!
English
@crscndo_ @thatvirgobrat4 my mutual being a 3rd generation canadian and still identifying heavy with his caribbean and african roots..what point are you trying to make?
English
@thatvirgobrat4 @IGayiah Yes but they don’t say “I’m Italian” when they’re a third generation Canadian, they say “I’m Canadian” and acknowledge that they have Italian heritage.

@pjimintqm the american is identity is UNIQUE. yall are the racists by trying to box us all into one “american” category
English
@pjimintqm they DO identify as american! there is not a single american identity because we are a multicultural/multiracial country comprised of past and recent immigrants!
English
no es que no se identifican como estadounidenses, es que ustedes gringos tontos no los dejan PORQUE SON RACISTAS

@TAplomb_ @lily___rebecca @nghtmarefuel it absolutely does. u cannot wrap ur mind the fact that immigrants and their children still participate in their home culture despite living in a new country.

@imbackr24242 @GauraNell for instance why is the afro-colombian population of bogota segreated to the poorest area of the city?
English
@imbackr24242 @GauraNell economic inequality that exists due to racism. have you asked yourself why the ppl experiencing these hardships tend to be black or indigenous?
English
@TAplomb_ @lily___rebecca @nghtmarefuel esp in my state😭which was literally apart of mexico and is still a border state
English
@TAplomb_ @lily___rebecca @nghtmarefuel some cities have literal mexican enclaves….where the entire community is mexican…speak spanish…participate in mexican culture…
English
@TAplomb_ @SarahHourani @nghtmarefuel whats north american culture? theres 23 countries on the continent some of which are latin?
English
@SarahHourani @IGayiah @nghtmarefuel I’m not disparaging them, they have a rich and interesting culture, it’s just part of American culture, it’s a North American culture. Not Latin.
English
@TAplomb_ @SarahHourani @nghtmarefuel you do realize that “ authentic” mexican culture would be a “north american” culture…..
English
@imbackr24242 @GauraNell the racism in latin america is just like the US no matter how you try to frame it. very very real and deeply institutional.

@IGayiah @GauraNell Stop talking about things you know nothing about. In Latin America, all races have been equal before the law for 200 years. In the U.S., the law allowed segregation until the 1960s. We’re 150 years ahead of you; our culture doesn’t segregate like yours does

@VoxtekTU i never said it was. but its more diverse than fucking korea
