If you want to know, you should ask, "Excuse me, I was wondering, what's your ethnic background?" Not, "What are you?"

[xerispheri]

No, "what are you"? is totally unacceptable. Try human being...

I'm orange〔ハーフジャパニーズ、quarter mexican, quarter white lool)

[myeyeswillburn]

I relate completely to what these people are saying.

[onegaisti]

So, I'm Hapa. But my cousin is Flp/Vtn. Does that make him Hapa?

I bought this book and love it. My mom asked this guy where he was from and he said "How far back to you wanna go?" lol!

[flashflooddarlings]

I think it's a very American things to be offended when asked 'What are you?', or 'Where are you from?', always wanting to be defined as being 'American', but that's understandable given America's history.

I think people should be happy to talk about what racial/ethnic/cultural background they have, because it's interesting, and it shouldn't be anything less or anything more than that. I mean, all Americans should have something interesting to say when they're asked "What are you?".

@starburst43x i think you should remove yourself from your shoes, and place yourself in their shoes. Then, you will notice the impact of the question.

For some reason I don't get asked anymore. I did a lot when I was younger. Since I live in Texas, I guess people just assume I'm Mexican. In fact, a lot of Latinos initially try to speak to me in Spanish, and they get confused when I think they're talking to someone else or I talk to them in English.

yeh iono. people are just anal. lots of people ask this question. it's not an exclusive question. white people do it, black people do it, asian people do it, hispanic people do it....
