This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Argentina? The South American country that had a small influx of Germans after WW2 is 100% white?

Hispanic people can be white skinned. They're aren't all dark.

Can confirm

"How'd you get your last name?" Is almost always brought up when I say it.

I'm a second generation Mexican/Finnish mix with a strong southern accent.

Having to mark my skin color down on the paper and then having to mark Hispanic in another place is common place.

Funny how Scandinavian is never an option. I'm as much Scandinavian as Hispanic.

Racism is weird.

Lul same with my fiancee actually. She's half salvadoreña and half Lebanese. Her last name is a Lebanese one that isn't common but she has strong salvadoreña features with Lebanese hair, it throws people for a loop trying to figure her out. I'm just Mexican with a Spaniards last name which a lot of people in Mexico also are.

Lul good one. Yea there's plenty of white people in south America but I doubt anywhere it would be 100 percent or even close.
