[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When someone speaks with an accent, I do ask where they’re from. I certainly hope I’m not offending anyone - it’s simply that I want to know more about them. I would never ask that of someone without an accent, however.[/quote] Don’t do this. It can definitely be offensive.[/quote] I don’t ask strangers; it’s people I’ve worked with for a while (usually nurse’s aides). We develop a relationship over time and at a certain point I do ask them, usually after they refer to “my country” in conversation. But I guess I don’t understand what’s offensive about asking where people are from when they speak with an accent that reflects they are from a different country. How is being from someplace else a negative thing? I don’t see it as “less than” in any way, shape or firm so I find it odd that after speaking with someone over time and getting to know them, it would be considered to ask them where they are from originally.[/quote]
