>Almost every coffee shop, restaurant, super market, you name it I got asked where I am from or where my accent is from.

Yea we have people here from all over the world. Why is that question offensive? You seem to be assuming that that question is being asked to point out that you don't belong here.

I love asking people where are they originally from and try to impress them with trivia about their country that I know , being a world history enthusiast.
