As an American - Brazilian (and a mix of ethnicities of people that immigrated to Brazil) I loved answering about my hodge-podge ethnicity and hearing other people’s stories about the cultures they originated from. Later realized that’s it offensive to ask about it. 😬

I guess it depends on how you ask the question. (Not questioning the nationality, more interested in their heritage?)

Wait, what? How do they try to push you out? Asking because I’m visiting the Philippines in a few months.
