Hello white Americans, where are you reallyyy from?
Okay I know that sounds weird but here me out.
I've recently studied that white americans are descendants of european immigrants back in the day, who came to the New World to start a new life.
Hence..white Americans really do have Europeans roots.
Which country in Europe are you or your ancestors from? Do you still get in touch with ur relatives in the continent?
p.s. pls don't send hate, I just really love history.

Just a thought, but has anyone considered that maybe Michael and Usman might have a BBW fetish for white American women?
Iβve seen so many posts about women like Angela fetishizing black/African men, and I actually totally agree that they do, but I kind of feel like maybe her/Lisa/Kimberly are being fetishized also. I think Michael for sure, but idk, itβs also very likely these women have just been the easiest to manipulate for a green card.
