1. Where are you from?
2. Do you speak English?
3. If you are speaking English well, next comment and question is 'As because you are from overseas, it's unusual to be a well-english speaker. Where do you learn English from?'
4. Even a horrible question, 'Are you living here?'
You won't see any respect from white race people and they would treat you very badly!
I have met couple white south african homeless ladies were here.
