Re: How Do You Feel When Strangers Ask , "Where Are You From
I live in Wyoming, which is likely the least ethnically diverse place you've ever been. I do however live in the only University town in the state. We get people from all over the world, which is one of the greatest things about living here. I rarely get asked based on my looks because I don't stand out here at all. I do however get asked on occasion based on my last name. Both my maiden name and my ex-husband's last names are very unique (maiden name is Danish and married name is Italian). I generally just tell them the origin and move on. I can't recall a time when anyone has been pushy or negative, just curious and happy to move on once I answer their question.
