[quote=Anonymous]While many posters here recognize that it might be a tricky question, I'm surprised by those who are offended by the question. Surely it is racist to think it's fine to ask a white person about their background or accent but not ask somebody who obviously comes from a non-white European background. For the record, I am white and non-American. I am asked all the time about my accent, often by black Americans. I am never offended. Of course, I don't have the historical baggage and so would never assume that asking a non-white person the same question would automatically be construed as racism. [/quote]
