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.
