[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hate the question Where Are You From. As an Asian American growing up in the 70s and 80s it was a poorly phrased ignorant way of asking What Is Your Ethnicity? I would answer the question ‘I grew up in a small suburb outside Boston’. And the uncultured pasty white person would say No Where are you FROM FROM?? Still get it today from the same kind of people. [/quote] They mean what’s your ethnicity: Chinese, Japanese, etc. Why not simply say? Why assume it’s because they are racist and don’t consider you American? You obviously are American, and they know that. As a boring white person, I’ve been asked this question. I tell people what my ethnic heritage is. NBD. I think it’s strange that such info is off limits. [/quote]
