Unfortunately​ I primarily see failings on your side _to be tolerant_:

Isn't it fair that others may mistake your origins and are interested in them ?

Is it good or bad that you "clearly" look like someone from place X from earth or that people put you origins in the wrong place? Should they surpress their curiosity? Moving somewhere on earth is so easy today, getting rid of your dna totally not

The last one isn't nice though and I'd wish I was so carismatic that others always reacted in a positive way towards me, but they don't. We are all subject to the judgment of others, may it be positive or negative

Well fuck you too. I used to tolerant to all these micro aggressions (that I listed above) for at least 20 years. But now they just piss me off.

The color of my skin is not a conversation starter.

I'm not a sideshow freak here to satisfy your ignorant curiosity.

You want to talk about my origins? Ask permission.

How do you do that?

Talk to me like a human. Ask me about my childhood. Ask me what my favorite authors are. What's a good pizza topping. Get to know me first. I'll share my origins to anyone who actually shows some love.
