[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is an interesting conversation. Like OP, I am white with a very unusual last name that almost everyone cannot pronounce. I get asked often what kind of name that is, or where is it from. I can see that if instead I were asked where am I from, it would be troubling.[/quote] Yes I’m also white with an usual, hard to pronounce last name. I get those comments every time I have to give my name, am introduced, at doctor’s offices, businesses.... As long as someone is just asking you “where is that name from” it really is just curiosity and not an insult. I seriously get it weekly if not daily.[/quote]
