[quote=Anonymous]As to the "where are you from question": The person I know with the most curiosity about ethnic origin is a Hawaiian born woman of Japanese ancestry. She claims that growing up in Hawaii that it was a normal question based on curiosity rather than racism. I have no idea if this is universal in Hawaii. She is from the Big Island and is a senior citizen now. I knew her while working with her for the US government and we became good friends. But, she was always very interested in a person's "origins." And, as for kids asking "where you are from" that is one of those things that is insensitive, but not necessarily racist. Around here it is a pretty common question for people of all races to be asked.[/quote]
