[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Its only offensive if the person is easily offended. DH is foreign, non-white and people ask him ALL THE TIME. Great conversation starter. [/quote] The people who tend to say they are offended are not foreign. They are American, born in the USA, and have no discernible accent. They get exhausted saying, "No, I'm REALLy from <Iowa, Michigan, California, NY, wherever>" when people simply will not accept those places as the answer to "Where are you from?" It's really not hard to understand why an American would feel offended by people always assuming they are not American or really not "REALLY" from America...unless, of course, you are willfully obtuse.[/quote]
