I also get the same question shoved at my face all the time! lol
People would ask me where I'm from and when I tell them my nationality they all be like umm o, what I mean is what's your race? Or where are your parents from originally! Or even worse when they ask you stupid questions like are you a neggroid, or are you a mongoloid or Asian!!? This sounds dumb.

But then again, it really depends on the person. Likewise, some people are offended when asked about their race. Others love it and see it as a chance to share something important to them. Like for example I'm mixed....and people are genuinely curious to know if im mixed and of what kind of mix (like which parent is which). I personally like the opportunity to share my culture and learn about others'
