[quote=Anonymous]it depends how well you know the person and how much follow up you ask. I am from mixed ethnicity and invariably the conversation goes like this: Nosy person: where is your family originally from? Me: X ethnicity, (or sometimes i say X and Y) Nosy person: but you don't look too much like X?.... "while looking at me expectantly" Me: well i have also Y mixed in there. Nosy person: Oh really, who is Y and X ethnicities? How did they meet? Me: oh, look, it seems its going to rain... ..... or along those lines. When it is from a casual acquaintance or someone i don't know well, i really don't feel like getting into it. I am not offended, but it gets too personal for a casual conversation.[/quote]
