Instead of facing the problems in Mexico we run from them and move to the US.
We are obsessed with Selena.
Everything has an es in front of it. Like Es stop, es sprite, es stupid.
Some talk like Cheech even though they can talk normal
We say for realz
We have our last name in old english on our back windshields

i am too white and nerdy

I?ve been browsin?, inspectin?
X-Men comics, you know I collect ?em
The pens in my pocket, I must protect ?em
My ergonomic keyboard never leaves me bored
Shopping online for deals on some writable media
I edit Wikipedia
I memorized Holy Grail really well
I can recite it right now and have you ROTFLOL
I got a business doing websites
When my friends need some code, who do they call?
I do HTML for ?em all
Even made a homepage for my dog
Yo, I got myself a fanny pack
They were havin? a sale down at The Gap
Spend my nights with a roll of bubble wrap
Pop, pop, hope no one sees me
Gettin? freaky
I?m nerdy in the extreme
And whiter than sour cream
I was in AV Club and Glee Club and even the Chess Team
Only question I
Ever thought was hard
Was do I like Kirk
Or do I like Picard
Spend every weekend at the Renaissance Fair
Got my name on my underwear

These are socio-economic issues that have little to do with ethnicity, IMHO. I mean, the US hasn't had an American President ever,


? :confused: ?

That'll be because they don't. And, to be honest, I don't know anyone that has tulips in their back yards..

BO, accent and convenient stores.

My parents have the latter two.. I don't have any, lucky me!

My uncle smells like a trash can 5 minutes after he showers, though.

I'm too white to fit in with my American Indian relatives. I get a lot of crap for it too, from both sides. Damn half-breed.

my whole god damn country! :( although i suppose it's not ethnicity, israelis are very rude. i was brought up better cause i lived the major part of my life in the US (8-14) but apart from that...maybe a little bad eyesight. it's genetic.

The Chinese trust no one and will go all out to cheat/sabotage for their own benefits.
There is no such things as best friends when business is involved.

The fact that people automatically assume that my house smells like curry.

It probably does, but I can't smell it since I'm so accustomed to it.

How the heck one knows his ethnicity? Seriously... Ok, I'm not Apache, of this I'm certain because I'm white and live in the middle of Europe. My nationality is Hungarian and sure enough there's an ethnic group called Hungarian but how the heck do I know if I'm part of this ethnic group? Guess it would require some kind of examination by an expert to learn that. Or you mean generally? By continent? Like black,white, red, yellow? Or what?
