Don't feel too bad. My brother-in-law (born in Chile) was in Egypt about 10 years ago, and the Egyptians thought he was local and were going up and talking to him in Arabic. I'd rather be Italian and mistaken for a Hispanic than a Hispanic mistaken for an Arab.
I just want to be me, Christopher - American. This country has changed remarkably, I sometimes don't recognize it as the one I grew up in, and I like LEGAL immigrants, the ones who play be the rules. I have very little else but citizenship and the Constitution as armor in this world, and I won't let cheaters take American jobs, homes, and lives, including mine, ever.
