I get sick of people asking where I am from too. It never ends. Most guess from Brasil, France, Italy but I am from the USA. I have blonde hair and fit in well with the rest I guess, I think it's my accent.
I do remember before I moved here an Argentine was telling me how the Argentines dress better and are better educated than those from the states, and better looking. I was pretty put off and a litte intimidates upon arrival. I guess that's discrimimation against Yankees/gringos????
Argentines tend to ask allot of personal questions, where are you from, where do you work, what do you do, how much do you make, how much do you weigh, HOW OLD are you?????? I have had many look at me wierd because I did not work for a long time, like it was any of their business. They acted sort of angry that I did not. They get put off if they think you have too much money or they don't like people who don't have money, hahahaha. Sometimes I felt that if I was not a working lawyer, architect, MD or psychiatrist I was not fitting in.
Wow, I have not thought about all of this for a long time. Until reading this thread.
I guess no matter who you are or where you go you are going to come up against some kind of racism or problems or annoyances.
