[quote=Anonymous]Just teach her to answer questions like that sensibly, politely and maturely without drama, and then move on with her life. I've dealt with those questions all my life, and honestly, it's fun to throw those questions back at people and make them think about their own misconceptions, without making it a tense situation. I had a boss ask me what country I was from (I'm Asian, born in DC). I said America. He replied, you don't look American. And I replied, "What does and American look like?" He had to stop and think about what he was asking. Prepare for those situations, bc there will be more. Make them teachable moments vs. melodrama. [/quote]
