[quote=Anonymous]I'm sorry but the only way *So where are you from?* isn't a case of being insensitive and inappropriate is if it's followed up by "Oh really? [Some person I'm familiar with] is from/works/drove through there! What brought you to DC?" In other words if it's used as a way of actually getting to know the person and not trying to figure out what Minority Box to shove them in. Dancing around "Where are you really from Foreign Looking Person?" is extremely exclusionary and is ironically used most by clueless *Oh we don't see color* annoying uber PC types.[/quote]
