Lady working at Rita’s Famous Tacos in Ingram asked me this over the weekend when she saw my credit card, so I told her she was perpetuating white supremacy and the myth of the perpetual foreigner. She thanked me for the call in and vowed to educate herself in the future. — PolitiTweet.org

Gotta say I am often asked this question by working class Hispanic people who are curious about my last name or my blond son Jose. Among people who haven’t read the right articles on the internet, it’s a normal way of asking about someone’s family background. — PolitiTweet.org

No matter how sweetly you ask it, “Where are you from?” is not a polite question.
