Those looking for racism or prejudice can find it here. The usually intended question is about ethnicity. The problem is that phrasing (and the occasional racist) make it awkward. I'm happy if a 0th generation immigrant considers themselves to be from my country. It implies a sense of pride and desire to be part of their new home and culture. Unfortunately, that pride can be injured when people inadvertently imply they do not belong - 'where are you really from?' The opposite is becoming more common - born here, rejects local values/language, considers themselves from their ancestral country.
