A possibly sensitive question…

If someone doesn’t know about your culture or ethnicity, are you okay with them asking you questions, if they do it respectfully, or do you find it offensive ?

(Personally I’d rather be asked than have the person making assumptions that are [b]really[/b] insulting.)🙁

Yes it’s offensive they like always assume I’m from a foreign country even though I speak better English then they do. It’s been happening forever too

@Catzgano They may assume you are from a foreign country [b]because [/b]you speak English better than they do :)

@ServantOfTheGoddess Actually, Americans speak American and English people speak English. There is a lot of difference between them. Since television most Americans speak the same standard dialect.

@Diotrephes The Americans I know actually speak quite differently depending on the regions they are from.
