[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I always figure people are either asking this to make polite conversation and don't really care about the answer or that it's a veiled, rude "no but where are you REALLY from" question that POC get asked. I am a military kid, born overseas, lived all over. Went to middle/high school in NOVA and then UVA, and lived/worked in VA, MD and DC for a few years after graduation. Moved away about a decade ago (military) so I say "northern Virginia" or "DC area" most of the time. I think it would be strange and easily caught out to just fabricate a hometown. But picking one place that you've lived the longest to avoid having a long retelling of your life to a stranger seems totally fine to me. [/quote] Has nothing to do with being of color. Actually it's usually white people being squirrelly and lying about this issue, for some reason. Especially the ones that fancy themselves urbanites since they lived in a "big city" for 3 years[/quote]
