A Somali arrives in Minneapolis as a new immigrant to the United
States. He stops the first person he sees walking down the street
and says, “Thank you Mr. American for letting me in this country!” But the
passer-by says “You are mistaken, I am Mexican”.
The man goes on and encounters another passer-by. “Thank you for
having such a beautiful country here in America!” The person says
“I no American, I Vietnamese.”
The new arrival walks further, and the next person he sees he
stops, shakes his hand and says “Thank you for the wonderful
America!”
That person puts up his hand and says “I am from Middle East, I am
not an American!”
He finally sees a nice lady and asks suspiciously, “Are you an
American?”
She says, “No, I am from Russia!”
So he is puzzled, and asks her, “Where are all the Americans?” The
Russian lady looks at her watch, shrugs, and says…”Probably at
work.”
