True story: My friend Mina, dressed up in her sari, had the following conversation with a little old lady on a bus
LOL 'You look lovely dear, where do you come from
Mina 'Plaistow'
LOL But where have you come from originally?
Mina 'Plaistow. I was born there
LOL But where are your parents from?
Mina 'Bradford.'
LOL but where are they from ORIGINALLY
Mina 'Mum's from Bradford, Dad's from Leeds.'
Mina getting fed up with this said - and where were your parents from? to the (white) LOL, and got this answer
'My mother was born in India and lived in St Petersburg, and my father was half Italian and half Brazilian.'
So you never can tell :)
