Don’t let “I’m from X” be your whole personality. Get actively involved in changing the trajectory of X if you can. And if you can’t, just be a decent fucking human being, heaven knows we don’t have enough of them to go around.
Also, counterpoint: if people do judge you by your point of origin, put some distance between you and those shallow motherfuckers.
Met, I’m just trying to leave this world a little better than I found it. And to do that it makes no difference where I’m from, how I speak or how I look like. If I get to act contrary to someone’s stereotype to do it, I consider that a plus.
