I'm from Canada so everyone except for the indigenous originally came from somewhere else. I love it when people ask my about my roots, but someone told me it was rude.

It heavily depends on context. I love to chat about mine but I won't if I sense that there's a risk of discrimination. The amount of information I divulge depends heavily on how close we are. If you ask it out of the blue and you're not someone I trust well, it comes off as rude.
