This is the best response to someone who asks you where you're 'really' from

How many times do people get asked the uncomfortable question: "No, but where are you really from?" because of their ethnicity?  SEE ALSO: Donald Trump just retweeted anti-Muslim videos from a British extreme far-right group It still happens quite a lot, despite it being a form of "microaggression," according to some social scientists.  A similar incident just occurred to London Mayor Sadiq Khan during his historic walk across the border between India and Pakistan.  BBC reporter Karl Mercer awkwardly asked him whether the symbolic visit felt "like coming home."  The mayor replied: “Nah, home is south London mate." Then he added: "But it’s good to be in Pakistan. It’s good to come from India, home of my parents and grandparents."  People criticised the reporter for the question, while praising Khan's sassy response:  Who asked Sadiq Khan, currently in Pakistan, “how does it feel coming home?” Utterly pathetic. cc @meghamohan — Julia Merryfarlane (@juliamacfarlane) December 7, 2017 quot;How does it feel to come home?quot;quot;Nah, homeapos;s Sarf London, mate.quot;LOVE SADIQ KHAN. https://t.co/NCq7dU6qwx — Ali Catterall (@AliCatterall) December 7, 2017 I sincerely doubt anyone would ask Iain Duncan Smith quot;how it feels to be homequot; on a work visit to Japan. Sadiq Khan was born and raised in South London. To even ask the Mayor of London that question is utterly shocking in its audacity. — Oz Katerji (@OzKaterji) December 7, 2017 Iain Martin, a columnist for emThe Times/em, defended the question, saying it wasnapos;t weird: The Sadiq Khan quot;homequot; question not weird. Scots, Welsh, Irish get it all the time. I call Scotland home, although London is my home. — Iain Martin (@iainmartin1) December 7, 2017 But people pointed out that people of colour get told to leave Britain by racists, something thatapos;s unlikely to happen to a white Scot: Isn’t the context important? People of colour get told to “go home” ie leave Britain by racists, no one says that to a white Scot/Welsh — Fatima Manji (@fatimamanji) December 7, 2017 Scots get it more than might think! But of course, yes, are racist idiots. Not odd for Brits with roots abroad to celebrate it. — Iain Martin (@iainmartin1) December 7, 2017 As a Brit with a foreign surname, I often get asked “where are you from”. It was a good response from Sadiq Khan. — Leon Emirali (@LeonEmirali) December 7, 2017 Are you being serious? Calling Scotland quot;homequot; in your case makes sense because you were born there, and itapos;s not a foreign country. This is a British man of Asian heritage being wrongly told a foreign country heapos;s never grown up is quot;homequot; (which he obviously rejects). — Owen Jones (@OwenJones84) December 7, 2017 WATCH: Forget 3D printing, molding is all the rage right nowpbr clear="all"
