Worse or most ignorant thing said to you from a total stranger...

I am half Tunisian Jewish and half Slovak/Hungarian Jewish and I have very curly hair, full lips and arabeque eyes. I also get pretty tan (not like even THAT tan) when I actually go in the sun.

A lot of people used to insist that I was mixed/Latino/part African American in the past....mostly AA's themselves or Latinos. My brother OTOH looks 100% stereotypically European Jewish and bc of where we've lived and what his name is, he NEVER gets questions on his background.

If someone asks me my background, I usually just tell them I am Jewish, but some people are like really rude and pry and really like want a family tree or something. It's even more complex because my father is Tunisian but has a German surname, so.....ya....it's a mess to explain in 20 secs. to someone.

My SIL said her friend who had adopted an Asian baby went to the customer service desk to get credit for a coupon she didn't receive and the lady said, why are you worried about a coupon? you bought her didn't you? How's that for rude!
