[quote=Anonymous]Like most things, it depends. It doesn’t bother me at all if people are guessing wrong to assume that I”m more like them. When I lived in NYC, people often spoke to me in Spanish, and that felt welcoming. What’s bizarre and offensive is when people TELL me what I look like or seem like to them — in ways that center them and their guesses rather than any genuine effort to connect with me. The vast majority of kids get a break on this, as long as their curiosity is accompanied by a modicum of politeness. [/quote]
