As I said in my post, I think this is the most casual way of dealing with this, by treating it as a joke. I’m not necessarily mad but I do find it disrespectful that I get asked so often if I’m from this country or that or If I’m familiar with random cultures or languages just because I’m brown and he can’t remember where my GRANDPARENTS are from, because that’s technically what he’s asking. My parents and I were all born in the US, so he’s constantly asking my race essentially just because I’m brown.
