几个月之前跟一个学生去了church（算是做了一点ethnography）一个人不出所料地问我where are you from 在我说了Los Angeles 之后还是不满意所以问were you born there? 我说 I was born in China. 然后她很满意地点了点头说I thought so too 于是我反问 what about you? 她说I’m from here 我又问 but were you born in Pennsylvania? 她： 👁️ 👄 👁️

@bobboyle 这个说得轻了我都觉得是race-based microaggressions. 可能学生并无恶意。但被问的一方是会觉得挺awkward. 我在这边也碰到过一回，还是一个课上老师让所有学生回答where they are from, 而且特别强调这个是问where they were born, and where they grew up. 作为minority被这么问是会觉得有点awkward的。。。

@JennyJade @bobboyle 是的，其实和场合还有提问者的表情语气有关，很多时候虽然无恶意，但是背后有潜意识的刻板印象。有时候这个问题会给被问者一种“你不属于这里”的感觉。

@spring_is_late @bobboyle 就是这种感觉。一般问出这个问题的，你给一个美国某个州的名字（一般是你来了此岸之后读书生活居住的第一个州），人家一般也就stop了。后面这个were you born there就有点awkward了。其实这种确实是和场合以及提问者的态度有关。我以前也碰到过同事问我哪里学的英文，问我英文怎么能好成这样。说自己当年在日本教过几年书，那边年轻人的英文很差劲之类的。这种其实也是默认English is not my first language, 才会这样问。但对方表情语气都是善意，我也就不会觉得被offended...

@JennyJade @bobboyle 确实，这种追问已经很让人不悦，我还知道有人会追问 “Where are you REALLY from?” 的。我之前一直想着如果有人敢这么问我，我会给一个类似我来自非洲的答案，但似乎没有太大的反击力度。

@bobboyle @essally Where are you from？其实问的就是的出生国，等于What is your country of origin? 我也是学英语N年之后才知道的。参见https://www.gymglish.com/en/gymglish/english-translation/where-are-you-from
