Everywhere I go they ask me where I am from , when I tell country of my birth and whwre I was raised, they say but what is your origin? They want to hear the nationality of my parent because my skin does not look white enough, THIS IS THE SITUATION IN FRANCE, even if you are fluent in French but does not look white they will ask you whats your origin. FU K EM
If it helps any, this is a very common question in the states. Its rarely ever a malace thing, but a curiosity thing. Everyone has interest in people's lineage (regardless of color). Even if it goes back 300 years. Maybe it has a different implication in France though.
nah but you don't see that being asked of white people that often. and when it is it's often framed) asked differently.
I wonder if that's a trait with other countries of immigrants too?
