A Russian arrives in New York City 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 into this country, giving me
housing, food stamps, free medical care, and a free
education!"
The passerby says, "You are mistaken, I am a
Mexican."
The man goes on and encounters another
passerby.
"Thank you for having such a beautiful country here in
America ."
The person says, "I not American, I Vietnamese."
The new arrival walks farther, and the next person he sees
he stops, shakes his hand, and says, "Thank you for
wonderful America !
That person puts up his hand and says, "I am
from
Middle East .. I am not American."
He finally sees a nice lady and asks, "Are you an
American?"
She says, "No, I am from Africa
Puzzled, he asks her,
"Where
are all the Americans?
The African lady checks her watch and says, "Probably
at work."
