I’m english/Irish for generations.
Even if one great great grandparents were ‘foreign’ they’d be enough other English/Irish for me not to always be asked ‘where are you from?’.
Especially when people are drunk I’m guaranteed to be asked and then people like to have a conversation ‘I think she looks greek...’ ‘must be some Spanish in you somewhere’ ‘are you sure you don’t have a black grandparent?’ ‘She’s definitely Maltese’
Other family members get this, including aunts and uncles therefore it can’t be because someone had an affair.
I’m white with very slightly olively skin, dark curly hair and I get bored sunbathing.
Does anyone else get this all the time? I’m getting really bored of it and people think I’m ashamed of my ‘real’ heritage
