[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Asking where people are "from" is in order to put them in a box.

You're from London? Oh ok so you're probably highly educated and wealthy if you found your way here (DC).

You're from Nebraska? Oh you're a hick who is not worth my time....unless you're one of those outliers who attended Princeton.

Etc etc etc ad nauseam.[/quote]

Np, and I 100% agree with you.

My team and I met with a woman from another department in our agency a few months ago. She asked us to introduce ourselves, what we did, and where we were from. It was a strange question, given the context/brevity of the meeting and that our paths would likely never cross again. When she got to me, I said I was from the DC- area. When she asked me to specify where in DC, I mentally confirmed my suspicion of why she was asking. It was so obvious and pathetic. [/quote]

But it sounds like she rightfully did clock you for what you were doing.  Did you even grow up in the "DC area" at all?  [/quote]
