For those of us non-Caucasians...
"Where are you from?"
"What's your nationality?"
"What are you?"
I got these a lot growing up. The 'nationality' one got weird because I'm an American. Here's a sample exchange:
Them: What's your nationality?
Me: I'm an American.
Them: No, I mean, where are you from?
Me: Originally from Arizona but have lived most of my life in California
Them: No, before that.
Me: I wasn't around before that.
