Hmm, the "where are you from" isn't something I buy here. It's pretty obvious if an Asian person is "from" the U.S. and if their English has an accent I see no issues asking if/where they are from. It's a simple conversation starter. If somebody asks me where I'm from, I just tell them the city. It's not a big deal.
