I was at the grocery store the other day, and the guy bagging my groceries asks me: "Where are you from?" I pointed to my mom and said her family was from Italy, and that my dad is from Iran. His response: "Yea, I thought you looked Middle-Eastern...(his eyes widen, and hands go up) No offense!"
"No offense" ?? How funny/sad! Since when is being Middle-Eastern an insult or a bad thing? Lucky for him I wasn't offended, and told him "none taken." I just find it interesting that he even felt the need to say that. The world is an interesting place these days.
