Re: How Do You Feel When Strangers Ask , "Where Are You From
I was born in America, but I most definitely look Mexican. I live in So Cal and have never once been asked where I am from. When I travel to Europe, I do get asked and I respond "American." I guess in So Cal everyone is used to seeing Latinos so no one bothers to ask or really cares. If anything, Latinos automatically assume that I speak Spanish (which I do) and speak it to me...but I think it is their way of bonding.
