No, it does. I'm saying asking someone where they're from yeilds no facts about that person if all you get back is a name of the country. It doesn't mean they definitely grew up there, or that they hold citizenship. But it's easy to just take the name of the country and assume a bunch of things about the person based on things you heard about people from there. There may be statistical probabilities there but no certainty. People have done it since forever and it's essentially the same mechanism as OP described.
