Think yourself lucky. I was once asked, “yeah, but what part of England are you from? Scotland”?What a coincidence. :)
I suppose their interest/curiosity was the same as your reference, but I didn't see any need to make a headline over it.
No different to my wife being Canadian of German heritage and people who have an interest asking where in Germany her family were from, not simply Germany.
The same with me, where in England, not just England. Seems a perfectly normal question to ask.
Some people, when they hear I was born in South Africa, say "but you are not black".People asking me all the time where I am from.
I tell them the town, but they reply, "No, where are you really from?"
"Oh, England", I will reply.
Actually, I don't give a toss, a perfectly normal question............but when they ask, "Are you from Australia?"
Well, that's a step too far!!!!!
Youve got to be kidding me, nobody has said that. Not having it sorrySome people, when they hear I was born in South Africa, say "but you are not black".
I had to show 1 lad i work with my driving licence to prove where I was born It doesn't happen a lot. Only about 4 or 5 times. The other thing that people say when they find out is "but you aren't racist"Youve got to be kidding me, nobody has said that. Not having it sorry
