I love and hate when people ask me that quest...Ahh! I love and hate when people ask me that question! <br /><br />I'm an American, born and bred in the states, and my parents were refuges from SE Asia. Whenever I am asked "Where are you from?" I'll say that I'm from my hometown, and it amuses me how they can sometimes get frustrated with my answer (even when it's the absolute truth). I hate when people assume that I'm from "over there" partly because I live in a predominately white community. And yet, I enjoy it because I get to correct them and expand their horizons.mrs.burkettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11308834109325145958noreply@blogger.com
