I feel the need to do an author's note explaining some of the stuff in this story because I'm not good enough a writer to make it make sense otherwise. So, lazy man's way out, even though we're technically not supposed to do an author's note on.

So you know how America (and Canada) have a bunch of immigrants from places like China, Africa, Korea, etc.? Well, each of the immigrant cultures is pretty unique, so my weird brain thought, "hey, what if each one of them had a personification like each nation does?" Like, if the Chinese Americans had one, the Latino Americans had one, etc.

My plan for this story is to start out with some characters and add more as the story progresses (and I actually design those characters). Let me introduce you to the starting cast:

- Mina/Ming Zhu (personification of Chinese Americans). She's pretty of special to me, since I am a Chinese American! I promise I didn't do a self-insert, though.

- Martin (personification of Jewish Americans)

- Santiago (personification of Latino Americans)

- Klein (personification of African Americans)

- Jeremy (personification of the non-jerkface white Americans)

- Kevin (personification of the racist white Americans).

I decided to split the white Americans into two because they do act pretty differently at many points in history, so it would be tougher to write with only one.

The characters are based on the cultures of the ethnic groups in America. Not everyone acts like they will, because that would make the world ridiculously bland. It is sort of interesting to me how the culture you live in growing up can affect who you are. I could write an essay explaining my thoughts on this, but some of you have probably stopped reading already. I would suggest recommendation is to read the book Hillbilly Elegy to understand what I mean more. It's a fascinating book that helped me understand more about human nature.

Now, onto the story, which is what you guys came for.
