The “where you’re from question” isn’t nearly as annoying as “what’s your background?”

This is the correct answer. You can live somewhere for your entire adult life but your are “from” wherever you did the bulk of your growing up. 

The best/worst is when they follow up “Where are you from?” with, “No, no, I mean what are you?”

I usually say “I grew up in X, we live in Y now”. If it’s someone who will care, I’ll add "well, I was born in Z”.

Somewhere on the internet there is a video of an East Asian woman hounding a white guy about where he’s from. “No, where were you born?” “No, I mean, where are your parents from?” And it’s quite amusing. I’d be happy to share but I can’t find it.

I get that, but I will tell you that absolutely no Texan would consider me "from" Texas based on the 6 whole weeks I lived their after my birth. Especially if I mention it was Austin and my Dad was in grad school.

I wish this was more surprising to me. 

I’m Indian and I’ve lived in the U.S. of A since I was 10 months old, but do you know how many fellow citizens ask me where I’m from and don’t accept ‘Minnesota’ or ‘California’ (lived there for 7 years) for an answer?

You are from where you’ve spent the most substantial years of your childhood. “I’m from X, but I’ve lived in Y for Z years.” It’s a short sentence. Not that hard.

I lived in San Francisco in the 80s. We had a saying: If you’ve lived in San Francisco for five years, you’re a long-term resident. If you’ve lived here for ten years, you become a native.

This isn’t code switching, this is lying.

If she’s pulling a Rachel Dolezal, then yes, she needs to explain why she thinks that shit is ok.

As a white passing Mexican-American growing up in Miami AND a gay man, I am VERY familiar with code switching.

No, her family isn't Spanish. They are all New England WASPS.

She is 100 % not from Spain. 

Her family is not Spanish and moved to Spain to retire. The fact that she gave another impression tells you all you need to know.

Well, no. Vacationing in Mallorca with your rich American family does not make a Massachusetts prep school graduate named Hillary into someone who would say “How do you sayee in eengleesh ‘coocumber?’” It’s not like visiting your relatives in Georgia and coming back saying “ya’ll” for a week.
