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.

I think Americans tend to be more sensitive about this, but Canadians (at least in the Toronto area) tend to me more open to this.

I guess it's different when you're the only minority in town, compared to other scenarios where most people are white.
