Would you find it offensive if an acquaintance asked what your race/ethnicity was?

Question

Answer

I don't mind it. I always like to see their reaction when I mention I'm half black. The freckles throw some people off lol

Answer

No, most people are just curious. It’s better to just ask than assume.

Answer

I wouldn’t be offended. I think it’s common in culturally diverse populations for people to ask your background.

Answer

I don’t mind as long as it isn’t asked with malicious intent. I’ve been getting that question my entire life so I’m pretty used to it.

Answer

I'm white, so doesn't really apply to me. On the rare occasion that someone asks if I'm I'm Sicilian I tell them my mother's side is from there, but I'm more so excited someone could tell or even knows about Sicily since Italy overshadows it a lot. I definitely see POC complaining about people constantly asking where they are from. And when they answer the person will be like "no, where your family is from". Etc. I could see that being annoying as fuck as well as rude.
