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.

    Yeah, it’s stupid. I hate it when people ask me question like this. I am not from anywhere, I am from here.

    Usually some drunk idiot I meet though insist that I need to tell them the origin country of my great great grandparents. I want to punch them.

      I’ve encountered this, as if it’s somehow a problem to be disconnected from your ancestors’ country.

      Guess what? I visited Scotland (where 2/4 of my grandparents are from) a few years back. Had a great time at my favourite whisky distillery. Zero strong feelings for the place otherwise though.
