Thatâs a very weird question to ask here in Colombia, weâre so mixed that we donât care how you look, youâre a Colombian if you were raised here and thatâs it.

My whole life. 47 years of this. My maiden name is Schmidt. My father's name. My mother is Vietnamese. People do not understand the difference between Nationality and ethnicity.

Not sure why people can't just ask, "What's your heritage"? That's a question you can ask anyone. My biracial friend gets the "what are you" question a lot. Drives me nuts. Oddly, she doesn't mind, she says , "They're just curious"! đ€·ââïž

My friend's family (great grands) came to Canada from China in the early 1900's. Both sides. So, ALL her grandparents and parents are Canadian, born here, and people still either ask her "Where are you from?"

Being half Filipino I get asked, âWhere are you from?â So I respond with, âMy mom.â Itâs an answer, but not the one they were looking for. The look of bafflement people have trying to process what I just said. Makes me laugh.
Someone asked my sister's husband (he's American, but both his parents are ethnically Scottish). Someone saw my sister (half Viet, born in Pennsylvania) and asked my brother in law "Where did you get the Oriental?" So many white guys think a great pick up line is "I've never been with an Asian..." gross
@mireillekim6502 I don't understand what you mean? If you mean sometimes it's racist and sometimes it's not, and that is based on "where you are" and the where you are is only racist if it's a white person asking a poc, your the rasist haha. But you could have meant something else, so I give you the benefit of the doubt! What did you mean?
@@umathewu has nothing to do with being yt or poc. In the US itâs an entirely different issue than in Africa. A lot of POC communities in the US have a long history of being suppressed and exploited despite having built todayâs America and living there for generations, by asking them repeatedly you let them know that you think they can obviously not be American and that is racist. Imagine a yt person says to a literal Indigenous American: âBut you could not be from here, you look Asian (to me)â. If someone is Black and you ask them âwhere are you from/what is your ethnicityâ they might really just donât know where their ancestors are from, because colonialists back then kidnapped Africans to enslave them and took away all their history. How big are the chances that a yt person living in Africa doesnât know their âoriginâ? Overall - and this goes for everywhere - you can ask people once and if they donât say then, just read the room and leave it alone.
Living in Japan I can say the opposite happens on a daily basis. I have had strangers shout at me "WHERE FROM?" and then after I answer just...walk away? Like, why did you need to know????? You will literally never see me again.
People just get curious, it isnât necessarily malicious. It can just seem that way coming from a different race/ethnicity. Itâs put into perspective with the same one. Iâm part Puerto Rican on my grandmotherâs on my motherâs side and a few months ago I came across Puerto Ricans at our little midwestern Cosco and got all excited. Cause other than my grandma here and her family in Florida I rarely see other Puerto Ricans. We ran across them again and my dad just straight-up asked them where theyâre from. I think the key was he was super casual about it (given heâs of Mexican descent and obviously his wife, my mom, is half Puerto Rican). They werenât bothered by it and just answered casually. I was all happy I got It right (cause I couldnât hear their accent, I could only see the way they were dressed and carried themselves). Weâll probably never see them again, but it is definitely a core memory. On the flip side, Iâve had tons of kids of Mexican descent ask me that with a nasty attitude, so even among similar people it also depends on how its asked.
Iâm Alaskan and most of us are transplants somewhere along the line. Itâs very diverse here, we have the most diverse school district in the USA in Anchorage! Also, hello my neighbor Canadian!

Me too. I'm white, South African born. My ethnicity is...um, Portuguese. Growing up in SA I would get asked where I was from all the time. I now live in Austria. It confuses the crap out of everyone here. Bloody white Africans, as if there are black Europeans. :-| Mind you, when I moved to and lived 8 years in Portugal, I was also asked where I was really from, but really? But to be honest, more often than me, my non-European heritage colleagues here in Austria are constsntly asked where they are from even though they were born here and speak German in the local accent, even dialect.

They think Chinese Japanese Korean are the same đđđ
Even for an Asian, it is hard to distinguish if based on physical appearance

Jeenie: I love ME TOO
The nerve of that girl!đđđ
This face says everything đ đ đ
a korean with blonde hair is something i never knew i needed to cross off my bucket list but its done
I thought she will get angry đ
Quite accurate
âWhat are you?â Sounds a million times worst than âWhatâs your ethnicity?â đ
My classmates who Iâve known for at least 2 years still ask me âAre you Korean?â or âAre you Chinese?â
What if you just replied, "My ethnicity is Canadian?"
Im white (mostly) and this happens to me quite often; not by strangers most of the time but by coworkers, friends of friends, ect. I don't care; its just a thing.
True white poeple are all over the place Iâm a white New Zealander
Me too. I'm white, South African born. My ethnicity is...um, Portuguese. Growing up in SA I would get asked where I was from all the time. I now live in Austria. It confuses the crap out of everyone here. Bloody white Africans, as if there are black Europeans. :-| Mind you, when I moved to and lived 8 years in Portugal, I was also asked where I was really from, but really? But to be honest, more often than me, my non-European heritage colleagues here in Austria are constsntly asked where they are from even though they were born here and speak German in the local accent, even dialect.
@@Marco-xy7nd Yep, my parents are South African (Portuguese/Scottish decent) but I was born in the US.
So that little bit of "somethin else" causes the questions.... I tan easily.
I did a 23 and Me in 2020; these's a good bit of things I wasn't aware of but not shocked by; mostly a lot of N African.
âMe tooâ omg Iâm dying đđ
I thought she would say ni hao and will be flung off
Me too. She went for the wholesome ending đ
Konnichiwa!
If I ask where someone is from I mean the city or area. đ€·đ»ââïž
