"Hey, Where Are You From?" Must Become Socially Acceptable Again

Antiracist pro tip: When you ask someone where they’re from, find something good to say about their country, no matter how politically unpopular. “Saudi Arabia! Birthplace of the famous Caliph Haroun al-Rashid!” “Russia! Home of Vladimir Nabokov, who wrote one of the most beautifully-written books ever!” “Sudan! The Kingdom of Kush!” [Dear Goddess don’t let him ask me what I know about the Kingdom of Kush, which I think is like weed or something!]

The woke dictate that it’s unacceptable to ask people where they’re from. But it’s one of the best ways to bond with strangers, and that is absolutely verboten to the woke. It’s in their best interests to keep us divided and suspicious of each other.
