My point is I wouldn't even fit no matter how conventional I might be. I'm not from there, so I don't fit into the local identity.
In Canada and the States, they care more about what you do and how you behave than where you're from.
EDIT: I want to stress that I don’t think Europeans are racist or xenophobes. They just have old idenities that are tied in with ethnicity, whereas in NA most people have an immigrant grandparent.
