Only white people...

Actually, I get this and I kinda just laugh and say “nah, you’re white”. Like this one girl who was determined she was half french and we asked if she spoke french, she didn’t so no. Like, people will say they’re mexican-american but they speak spanish and all that, black is black, asian looks asian, white is white, etc. I prefer American myself and I don’t really care about peoples’ family origins (because I don’t care if someone in your past family is royalty, you’re not and saying “my greatgrandmother was a princess” makes me think you wish you were one). So I just think it’s a way for people to feel like special snow flakes? I don’t know but it is kinda only white people that I’ve known to bring up every european/whatever ethnicity they ever had in their family as if they’d rather not just be called “white”.
