Where are you from….. originally (in a bad way)

likefunnysmart

Yeah that’s a tricky one. On one hand, it’s a lazy conversation starter. You can be at a bar and approach the whitest of all white girl and the first words that may come out of your mouth are “so where are you from?” It’s one of the oldest ice breakers. Obviously, when directed at a POC it takes on a different meaning but you can’t assume ill intent. Often the question is asked to find a way to relate to the person you’re taking to with a shared experience, either because you’ve been where you suspect they trace their origins to or you’re genuinely interested in their culture or journey. I’m an immigrant (first generation but not POC) and I genuinely feel a kinship with people who are not “from” here and am always curious about their journey. Legitimately. Yet I haven’t asked that question in many, many years because of some of the comments expressed on here and the last thing I want to do is clumsily offend someone. Having said that I think it’s a bit strange that you would automatically assume that the question is related to only skin color. The answer may be Toledo Ohio or San Francisco California. What is offensive I think is when you get that answer to then double down and say “no but where are you from from?” THAT’s messed up. Be kind to each other’s. Like someone said above, we’re stronger when we build bridges.


Edit: I re-read the post and the “originally” part is messed up.

“As mentioned…”

Hello,

Long time fishbowl lurker, first time poster.

I work in Healthcare consulting (8 yoe). I'm incredibly passionate about Healthcare and have thought a lot about how to make meaningful changes that keep people healthy and how it can be affordable and accessible to all. I know Google has been operating in the Healthcare market. Anyone here open to connect so I can learn more about its current activities/future plans? I'd like to see if there's a role that I'd be a good fit for.

Thank you!

Getting over heartbreak and having a full time job is torture lol. My boyfriend and I just broke up after almost a year of being together. It was such a beautiful relationship but ultimately he just didn’t love me. I love him so much. My mind knows that I deserve reciprocal love and I’m worthy, but I feel physically ill. My body hurts, my stomach is in knots, my head hurts. How is it that I have to mend a broken heart but also meet my billable hours lmao
