I never know what to call people it seriously stresses me out. Mexican, Latino, Latin, asian, Oriental, black, African American. When race eventually comes up I'm always corrected at how to address people, even by other "white" people, and I always apologize, and they usually say something like "it's easy for you because you're white" and I'm like "No I'm Irish American"
But... I got my Ancestry DNA results back last week and it says I'm 76% Great Britain and 16% Irish/Scottish/Wales. Ancestry DNA's definition of Great Britain is Ireland, France, Germany, Denmark, Belgium, Netherlands, Switzerland, Austria, Italy. So there's Irish overlay in my British ancestry on top of my Irish DNA? So WHAT THE FUCK?! Fine I'm white whatever.
