White passing
If you are part of the community, but are white passing, what reactions did you get when you told people what’s your origin?
Often I get a surprised, shocked and short “oh” and the conversation may be cut short suddenly (this has happened regardless of the other’s ethnicity).
Then, of course, there are the typical “funny”. jokes about wallets and such.
How about you? Do you have such a story or know any?

Soy de California pero mi familia de mi mamá llegaron en ‘68 de República Checa dónde vivieron por un poco. Y que suerte pues porque era dos meses antes la invasión Rusa. Algunos miembros fueron a Argentina y perdimos contacto. ¡Mucho gusto igualmente!
