Serros' has had very many interesting experiences with her ethnicity. People ask her where she is from and then when she flips the question back at them, they often don't know how to respond.
From my own experience, I just don't ever ask Latinos where they are from. I have asked some of my close friends what their background is. They tell me without hesitation and never seem to be confused about where they originated from. These people are also "white."
So I don't think I really can relate to Serros' article. I can usually tell if someone is "American" or not. Serros' appears a bit annoyed with all the questioning and this is understandable. I would be the same way.
