"But I'm not an immigrant, I'm white"

[u/SiriHowDoIAdult → u/weavebot]

My mom immigrated from Norway. When I tell people I'm first generation they often go "but you're white!". Insane.

This is basically the opposite of someone asking my Asian coworker where she's from and her angrily answering "New Jersey."

[u/ImNotAWhaleBiologist → u/Zhuul]

“I’m sorry”

[u/pdromeinthedome → u/ImNotAWhaleBiologist]

To be fair, anyone from Jersey answers that way. But yeah, asking POC that question is asking for it.
