[QUOTE="Myrdin Potter, post: 8031289, member: 6843593"] I avoid the question because I have had friends tell me that it makes them feel that they do not belong. I am an immigrant myself and I had a picture of me and my staff ages ago where I was the only non-Asian in the picture. I was the only non-American in the picture. When I saw it, I realized what others looking at our lunch table would assume and I was the person with only a green card (that I obtained by marrying a US citizen, I originally had a work visa). Usually, if you build a relationship, people will tell you their family history if relevant. And my Asian languages are pretty poor (I only do English and French well) but they are not so poor that I cannot recognize Korean, Mandarin, Tagalog, Thai and Japanese common words. So if there are speaking English, I cannot guess. But if they switch into an Asian language I can identify words and figure it out. I still do not mention it. I am doomed with dialects and there are some many in Asia. [/QUOTE]
