“White, white, white and Will Smith”

A friend started a discussion on Facebook the other day about how she is constantly asked where she is from—this is something that white people like me do not seem to experience nearly as much, and when we do, a simple answer like “San Antonio” will suffice. No one ever asks me where I’m really from besides the American city I just named, or where my ancestors are from (unless it was during a family tree project.) The Facebook discussion led to this comic by Shing Yin Khor, originally published on The Toast and reposted on Upworthy. This is just one panel; the whole thing is worth a look (some NSFW language).
