Does this offend you? Or would you not be offended at all?

Maybe the person making an assumption about your ethnicity is basing it on your features/appearance…on what they see…and not on what they’ve heard about your background. Chances are the person on the receiving end of the assumption is not thinking deeply about the background/landscaping/economic standing/world ranking/global perception and all that the assumed country and its people have to offer…as much as you would like for the individual to about these things. I think that often times it’s based on just our perceptions/preferences in terms of looks. Maybe you need to streamline because I feel like you’re all over the place with the topic. And knock yourself out with the nomination and election, I will be a no-show.

I mean i was speaking generally not referring to myself specifically. What you say does make a lot of sense though.
I was just joking about the religion vs secularism discussion. There is much more to discuss of course. You don’t have to be a no-show. It could be a GS meetup with other people you’d want to associate with. I guess I was being presumptuous assuming something like that would happen.
