Sometimes I get snarky when people ask me about my ethnicity. I'm not offended, but because it's such a common question, I joke around. At least ethnicity is more correct than nationality. Nationality means where were you born or your citizenship. Yesterday, a guy asked what my background was so I said, "I went to Harvard after studying at Julliard then I interned at..."
Some people think I'm Hispanic, usually Cuban.
