[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you're getting to know someone and have a good rapport, is this phrasing okay? "What is your cultural background?" And then throw in something like "I'm supposedly a mix of Irish, German, and whatever."[/quote] Offering up some personal stuff definitely makes this question easier. But I'm curious whether it's really just the friend's mom's accent that is making OP curious or her skin color? If it's the accent that implies she was born in a different country, then I think it's okay to ask about. If it's the skin color that implies a race that OP can't place, then I have to wonder whether she also asks white people about their ethnic origins.[/quote]
