And just out of curiosity, would you say someone is being racist if they ask you where you are from? Or if one nepali asks another where in nepal they are from? Or if someone you run into assumes you are from some X country and you politely tell them you are from Y country? I still dont understand where you find racism in this. I think you have it mixed up with national identity, which is a different issue. When someone talks about national identity and you jump three ft. up to say 'its racism, it has undertone of racism', then you will force me to doubt your intellectual capacity. I know racism is a hot button issue and all and it gets people fired up, but raising it in unrelated post just shows your own prejudice
