I hate when they say we "are Americans." That hasn't been my lived experience. Not just because of "othering" but because it dismisses how I even got to the US and how traumatic it was to be forced to assimilate or face angry United Statians. I had the immigrant experience minus the visa: all the green card comments, teachers who did nothing, micro aggressions, segregation, the ignorant questions from history teachers, my family being broken apart, losing my support system as a child...
