Outside the US I don’t see this as an insult. For Caucasians they want to know which European country my family was from. Even down to the Italians they want to know if I am northern or southern. poc’s definitely get it more based on what I hear from other mixed Americans.
Honestly once you are in a foreign country people asking your race, ethnicity, country of origin is kind of a guarantee. I would move on with your day or just say it outright and be done.
T-mobile Magenta Max with a lot of strategic data management. I will augment this with cheaper local sims when I will be in an area for a month or two.
I haven’t broken their data rule in a long time so I am not sure how T-mobile handles violators these days. In the last year I seem to stop back in the US just as T-mobile sends my first warning. I make sure to download tons of movies and music to my phone when I land to offset their 50% data rule for the next 3 months.
I am not exactly happy with this setup but haven’t found a good time to test an alternative.
This is some strange trolling.
“Won’t be able to make it for Christmas this year. I’ll try to visit in the summer”
If they give you shit for this saying less is the best option.
“I’m sorry but it is not possible for me at this time.”
I find if you talk to people like you’re replying to an email they give up real quick.
