Best answer to this question is: I come from my mother just like you and your brother.Approach a non white stranger in the UK and open with "so where do you come from?" , or a variation of this question?

We know man, it was just a slight tangent in relation to the OP.I love how people are talking about accents ffs.
It's not the same as asking someone where they are from because of the colour of their skin.

I'd probably say " well depends how recently you mean, I was stood round the corner two minutes ago, then in Morrisons a bit before that ..why do you ask ? "Approach a non white stranger in the UK and open with "so where do you come from?" , or a variation of this question?
She spoke like a thick Glaswegian?I always like that. Because I've moved around the north a bit (Bishop, Hull, Manchester, Lancashire) my accent has probably moved and melted a bit with it. It always amazed me when someone asked if I was Irish.

At one time just walking into a North East pit village pub or club as a stranger, you were lucky if that question was even asked before you got a slap.!
I don't know if it would have been any different if I was a POC, but then would I put being questioned, down to my colour , depends how it's asked I suppose... ??...
Its a bit of a strange opening question and very inappropriate, a bit like walking up to a person and asking if they liked anal. If it's based on skin colour its racist full stop.Approach a non white stranger in the UK and open with "so where do you come from?" , or a variation of this question?
What if its not their ethnicity you're interested in, but you want to know about their country of origin. culture, food etc. People can come from different countries and have the same ethnicity and also have different ethnicities within the same country.“What is your ethnicity?” would cut out most of the social confusion but still seems abrupt as an opening question like
