[quote=Anonymous][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]

I'm sorry you've had to deal with such ignorance. But I'm genuinely curious, when you say "uncultured pasty white person" are you trying to imply that white people on the more orange/olive spectrum are more cultured? Since you believe that the range of skin tones within any ethnic or racial group is relevant to the conversation, do you see skin tone generally as an indicator of the character of the human you're interacting with? [/quote]

You aren't genuinely curious you are trying to stir up crap. And they said that these SPECIFIC white people were uncultured because they didn't know not to ask 'where are you FROM FROM' which is rude.

Example: no one has EVER asked me, a white person, where I'm FROM FROM despite the fact that I'm actually first generation American. But if you don't look white you will get this question a lot. [/quote]
