I never get offended when I am asked. Why would I? It’s natural curiosity IMHO. And actually makes small talk easier as it’s a subject I know and can chat about :)

But I don’t know, if I told you I was from Greece, would my visa be the first think that would pop into your mind for small talk?

Speaking just for myself, I often end up saying rather stupid things when thinking on my feet.

On the other hand, yeah, the could simply have been a jackass. Greeks, though? Who doesn't love the Greeks? The Turks, I guess, but in America, I think they are well-regarded.

:) thank you
