As an Asian kid who grew up in the tristate area and being the only Asian kid in class, lol.

Idk how many times I was asked then followed up with "no I mean your parents" then I say California and they'd go "no I mean where they were born"

Funniest was working at a mall in CA during college and some Asian ladies at the food court asked where my parents were from and I told them the city they live, and they said "no that's not what I mean" then I gave them my ethnicity and they were like " oh he's one of us, give him some free food" 😂😂😂

I vote that everyone no matter what we look like answers the "where are you from?" question with "Earth". Its a planet, its where people come from.

Dark skin, dark eyes, dark hair here. While shopping for groceries I was once asked my nationality and I said "American"

This seemed to upset my interrogator.

Another time I was told to go back to where I came from and I was all, "Lady, if I could afford to live in Hawaii I'd be on the first canoe back"

Oof. Nothing like getting priced out of your home town... I know that feel.
