[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why do people lie about the city they grew up in? I live in a major city with a very high transplant percentage and it's amazing to me how many people will beat around the bush to say they're from "here" when the truth is they grew up in Duluth, Minnesota or Astoria, Oregon or whatever. Is it because they want to seem more cosmopolitan? What is the pathology at play?[/quote] I always end up having to explain where my hometown is and how big it is. I also haven't lived there for 10+ years, so it is odd to talk much about. Asking where someone is from (as in was born and grew up) can also come across as out of touch or even racist depending on how it is asked and the context (an assumption about it not being here based on an accent or appearance). I'd be careful with the where are you really from questioning![/quote]
