You can’t be from here. Because you’re not White.
Listening to a White lecturer describe her time at a conference in Ireland:
I couldn’t believe that I was the only person born and raised in North America. Well there was this couple from the United States but they’re originally from Bangladesh so I don’t know if they’re really from the States. Wait, that sounds terrible.
Well someone bought in to European dominance of the New World. Gave me a good eye roll that morning because my ASIAN family has lived in the New World since the 1850’s.

White privilege is never being asked the question “Where are you from? No really, where are you from?”
