oh come on you guys are acting all American and liberal blah blah craaap.. you all know " where are you from?" can be asked for both reasons:  with pure curiosity of your origin and making you feel like you don't belong here.

here are some bad ways of asking where are you from?

a) (for someone who's been paying taxes for years) " you don't look lik eyou belong here, where are you from? techinacilly white people don't belong here as well, but no one dares to ask them that question. even if a darkie says he's from some state in the US, next question can be no no where are yo originally from. so it's a racist intent.

b) you don't eat beef, " where are you from"?

c)you look like appu , where are you from?

d) you don't know how to drive, where are you from?

e) white dude goes to a gastation, asks a cleark where areyou from, makes his face like he just had a [Disallowed String for - Bad word 'fuk']e in his mouth and walks out.

a- e are some of the reasons why people ask you where are you from? these are ill intents and not asked with curiosity but with racist intenet.

here are good intents where are you froms:

a) I am thinking about travilling, where are you from ( with warm tone)?

b) you're so pretty/so handsome , where are you from?

c) with smile  and in friendly manner, " where are you from"?
