Of course. In that case, I don’t see anything wrong with being curious about their cultural/ethnic background.

Neither would a black person who doesn’t have an accent. And white person is most likely not going to be asked “where are your ancestors from either”. But is it really so bad to be curious about a person’s ancestral background? Definitely tacky to have it be one of the first questions you ask though.

Or “what ethnicity are you”?

Man, I know. Especially when they go off the actual topic and start talking about some random shit while cackling like a bunch of dumbasses.

There are no entrance stations in Death Valley. There’s a fee, but they sorta “trust you” to have paid in advance.

Yea, people look at me like a deer in headlights when I tell them that.

I agree. Wearing shoes inside is really gross.

I was about to comment the same thing.

I assume it has to do with the part that says that its place of origin is Great Britain.

[–] margaritox@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

Yea, me too. It’s an effective workaround but I believe you shouldn’t have to do it.

[–] margaritox@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

I mean, I kinda knew that there is a way to do it (I’ve looked it up already). I just feel like it’s way too complicated for such a simple tasks.
