[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A more interesting question than asking someone where they are from, is "what do you think about x or y currently in the news?" or "which book have you read recently that you'd recommend"

I lived in a lot of different places. I have an English accent and spent 20 of my 50+ years in London. I'm not "from" London but that's how people would like my existence to be framed, and I'm happy to oblige. [b]If I've also lived in NYC for 20 years, am I not also from NYC?? [/b][/quote]

No, you're not.  [b]You're "from" the place you grew up, as I suspect you well know.[/b]  Why do people love to play dumb on this issue?  So very strange.[/quote]

France/Lebanon/Zimbabwe/Vietnam/DC/Colombia/Tunisia poster here. Can you tell me where I'm "from" please? Using your assertion that someone is from where they grew up. [/quote]

Not OP but didn’t you literally just do that? 😂 [/quote]

Would you say I’m from Tunis because I lived there for a while in high school? [/quote]

Why are you acting like that's absurd statement? [/quote]

It’s not totally absurd. I lived there for a while as a teenager. I don’t have Tunisian passport or permanent resident visa. Saying I’m Tunisian would be incorrect from a citizenship point of view and it wouldn’t fully answer OP’s question. I would be lying, according to OP. [/quote]
