From the lakes of Minnesota, to the hills of Tennessee,
across the plains of Texas, from sea to shining sea,
From Detroit down to Houston and New York to LA,
Well, there’s pride in every American heart,
and it’s time to stand and say
And I’m proud to be an American where as least I know I’m free.
And I won’t forget the men who died, who gave that right to me.
And I’d gladly stand up next to you and defend her still today
Cause there ain’t no doubt I love this land God bless the U.S.A.
Happy Memorial Day!
Americans are stupid and I’m suppose to be proud

These are REAL conversations I’ve had with people:
Lady: So where are you from?
Me: I just moved from Korea
Lady: Oh so are your parents Jewish missionaries…?
Me: Uhh…no…?
Lady: Oh because I knew this Jewish girl whose parents were missionaries, not that you look Jewish or anything…
WTF?! No duh i don’t look jewish.
Dude: So where are you from?
Me: I just moved here from Korea
Dude: Oh is one of your parents Korean?
Do I look Korean?
Person: So where are you from?
Me: I just moved here from Korea
Person: North or South?
I don’t know how many times I’ve been asked this. Seriously if I even THOUGHT about living in North Korea I’d be an idiot seeing as I’d most likely be killed. This is the dumbest question ever…wait there’s a worse one…
