[quote=Anonymous]I have an Eastern Europenan/Russian married surname that people are always asking me about. I never got asked this with my obviously British maiden name. People often ask what country my surname is from or try to guess. I think people are curious when they can't figure out an ethnicity. Best friend is Vietnamese and I've asked her the same question. She gets a lot of "where is your family from?" or "where did your family originate?" Also, this is sort of white guilt too. If someone had an Australian accent and was white, you'd have no trouble asking where they came from. [/quote]
