American dream paradox

A harsh reality that many people come to the United States in order to start over and live a better life by having freedom, social equality, better education, and money, but yet for most people who come to this country, this dream will be impossible to completely achieve until several generations later, assuming they have a family with children, because of limited resource access and education, poor understanding of the social norms that most people in America actually follow, and distrust of immigrants in some parts of the country.
Pema and her family moved to America from Nicaragua in the hopes of starting over and help her children live better lives than what they had in their homeland, but they found it was exceedingly difficult to live in the U.S. because of the differences of America’s social norms compared to Nicaragua’s social norms and difficulty getting a job and finding decent housing. They are experiencing the American dream paradox.

American chino wanker

Tennage American boy who obsesses over any thing soccer related (may even call it fútbol). This includes FIFA as their video game of choice... A chino wanker will obsess over the game, play all the time, learn all the players and even adopt a British accent.
An American chino wanker can most easily be recognized by the overuse and misuse of the word banter (it will sound like 'banta' because of their newly found British accent).
This type of person probably thinks they're better and acts macho and strong to prove it.
Either a fan of pop music (like Beyoncé) or singer/songwriter (like Ed sheeran)
Most likely will be wearing low or no socks with vans or old nikes
Wears shorter shorts and occasionally chinos, but not as much as a typical chino wanker. This type of chino wanker is primarily found in the states which is why it is specific to Americans.
Lastly, these boys are likely to have tiny dicks, as do regular chino wankers
friend 1: dude shut up, quit being such a dick
friend 2: chill, it's just banter... Let's play some FIFA! I'll kick your ass
friend 1: you're such an American chino wanker

African American Associate

Verbose term for "nigga".

Not as friendly as "african american friend", this term can be used when roasting someone, exactly like when Lamar roasts Franklin in GTA 5.
