[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Not to side-track the issue - but how do people ask what ethnicity someone is? I use to be the one that asked "where are you REALLY from?" but have since learned that is rude and is the same as saying they aren't American - which was never what I meant.[/quote] You wait until you know them better. You can certainly ask your friends what their ethnic heritage is, but wait until they become your friends. If you are getting to know someone (colleague, parent of a child in your school) and they are actually an immigrant from a different country, they will often volunteer that information at some point. (Well, back home in S Korea, we did things a different way; We're taking a week off after Christmas break to visit my mother in Switzerland; etc.) If you need to know it'll come up! Otherwise, you wait until they are friends.[/quote]
