We’ve got a shot.

“I hope JD will be our next POTUS and serve two terms.”

And after that, in 2037, he should go back into business as a friendly competitor to Elon Musk’s then 17 year old genius son business leader.
Or maybe, just maybe, become a SCOTUS justice?

When WE marry people of other races, it’s glorious multiculturalism… but Vance? A culture-appropriating colonialist!

Made an exclamation to me when I didn’t understand him. I asked my brother what he said.

“You’re not Swedish! You’re a foreigner!”

We have a flat midwestern accent. That’s what we were told anyway.

Our Indian-American friends remark that when they go back to India to visit, they are always identified as American, even though they are wearing traditional clothing. Something about the way they carry themselves, perhaps.

A family friend, born in the US of Italian immigrants, learned English only when she started attending school. Her first language was Italian. Decades later, she and her aunt/stepmother took a trip to Italy. Although our friend was a native speaker of Italian, Italians always identified her as American, while her aunt/stepmother was always identified as Italian.

Before the trip, our friend expressed the fear to her aunt that they wouldn’t have a good time on their trip. The reply: “How we NOT have a good time? We aren’t going with any men!” (We no hava men) The aunt was right . They had a great time.

In most of Latin America, I was easily identified as a foreigner/gringo, because my European ancestry contrasted with the mestizo/Indigenous ancestry of most of the population. In Argentina, a country dominated by European immigrants, I was still identified as being a foreigner/gringo, because my casual clothing–bright colored & patterned shirts, jeans and T-shirts—contrasted with the dark pants and white or light blue shirts that Argentine men wore.
