Care to elaborate a little more ? <| sep |> Right ? You never know what to expect when starting him . <| sep |> The problem with this is that minorities aren ' t treated like they are American first . I get asked where I ' m from every day . When I say California , they ask what my ethnicity is like or , worse , where I ' m really from . The assumption when people see me is that I ' m not an American first . Of course I want to be thought of as an American before a brown person , but that ' s not what people see when they see me . That ' s not my fault . I ' m just living here . I wear a suit to work , nothing on my head , and Allen Edmond shoes . I ' m the definition of a minority that blends in . And still the assumption is Im not an American . And that ' s in New York fucking city . Don ' t tell me that everyone thinks of minorities as American first . We identify as a minority because we ' re told every day that we ' re not the same . I ' m separated because of my race because I exist . I didn ' t ask for that . Telling me I ' m in the wrong for identifying in part by what everyone else sees me as is insulting . I don ' t want this . It ' s my life .
