minor correction

“I can’t believe i’m half american” eh, not to nitpick but you aren’t, bb boy. friendly reminder that american isn’t an ethnicity, it’s only an nationality. i’m guessing the author is a little confused but there is a difference between ethnicity and nationality. nationality is legal status of belonging to a particular nation (some ppl can have dual nationality esp when they’ve moved somewhere). mr kwon isn’t american bc he has never had status of living there. ethnicity is belonging to a population made up of people who share a common descent or cultural background (korean, puerto rican, nigerian). sometimes the words for ethnicity and nationality can be the same (like korean) but in an american’s case, it’s usually two different things unless you are native american. since america is a melting pot, there are many ppl with different ethnicities. I’m guessing the author is trying to suggest his father is white and in that case, his half ethnicity could fall under many things like italian, german, irish, or english (uk) etc. that being said. the only true ethnicity that is ‘american’ is ‘native american’ and I’m gonna take a blunt guess that his father is not that. it’s possible mr kwon could have some french or german in him.

this is such a minor thing I know and not a big deal to the story so I hope my comment doesn’t bother anyone but sometimes it’s moments like this where you can tell the cultural education of america sometimes gets lost or confused in eastern countries. kinda like how some japanese mangakas depict ‘americans kiss as a greeting’ in their stories and it’s like… no we don’t lol.
