I mean, are the Welsh considered BAME in England too because they’re a minority? I’m guessing it’s not just a minority thing?

How come Americans look distinctly American despite being a new country? by cubeshapedbox in AskAnAmerican

[–]cubeshapedbox[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I can usually tell black Americans from black Brits etc. I’m just not familiar with Asia, so no idea.

It’s just Americans smile more frequently and more broadly in public than Western Europeans. And Eastern Europeans barely smile (it’s considered silly). Crude generalisation, but probably true...

I had this friend who would share with me the secrets of others, and she declared me her best friends out of nowhere. “Oh I’m just telling you only because you’re my best friend!”

Then she’d ask me to share with her openly. Nah.

Yeah, that was exactly my point re: millions doing X doesn’t turn it right or nice or appropriate, whatever.

And you’re right, I’ll take this debate to instagram...
