Good point, like my block is mostly 1st/2nd gen immigrant families and the question of what places your family is from or your “mix” (often abbreviated to “so what are you” lol) is like the second question my friends and neighbors here will ask you, right after your name and that’s considered normal and polite. If you don’t ask they will tell you anyway. By contrast I (4th gen) never think to ask that, not because it would be taken as othering, but because I’m simply not used to it being relevant or useful information. For my friends who grew up on this block though, clearly it was.
