[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]“Why are the people who think it's nosy or offensive to ask acting like a person's country of origin is some big secret or private information? ” +1 I do not feel people are prying private info out of me when I tell them I am from PA or that my family is mostly from Germany. This strikes me as normal chit chat. “Where are you from” is a totally regular question. [/quote] Many times it is a regular microaggresive question.[/quote] Newsflash, the world does not revolve around you and your feelings. Asking after someone's origins is a very old traditional question when people meet for the first time. At the rate we're going we might as well stop talking to anyone, period, in fears of "microaggression." Everything can be twisted and abused under the label microaggressive. Good luck with that.
