Something really annoying about being told I’m not an immigrant
#personal#personal post#I AM an immigrant#that’s not a bad thing!#immigration is not a bad word#unless you make it a bad word by flavouring it with your bias#I hate being told I’m not an immigrant because the subtext is so gross#I am an immigrant I just happen to be a very lucky one#and like this would be true even back home#I’m a second gen immigrant at home#I could make some bullshit poignant point about how it means I don’t belong anywhere#but tbh I think that undercuts my point#immigrants are important#you just don’t look down your nose at me back home because I’m white and have an RP accent#as does my German mother#but believe me I see the looks when I speak German in public#I’ve been followed enough times to know the feeling#one of my first memories of school was being called a nazi for speaking German#I was six and couldn’t remember the word for tomato#side note#it’s tomate in German so goes to show I could’ve said anything and it would’ve been foreign#ugh I don’t even know what my point is I’m just frustrated#like back in Vienna I’d be more surprised if you called me an immigrant but not upset#but here? where I don’t have full grasp of the language?#patch lore
