    Demand your white friends show them their green card or birth certificate.

    If you think that’s a joke, ask around. I’ve been asked that twice in my life. But because I’m not Default American™, I have to prove a lot harder that I was born here.

      And if they do, tell them, “no, the long form birth certificate,” since that was demanded of Obama (and it still wasn’t enough).

    • Yup. Everyone is quick to forget how the US treated Irish, Italian, and Jewish people in past generations. There really is such a thing as “not white enough”, and when these jerks run out of people to pick on, that’s next.
