It's like if you had a noticeable Irish accent and I asked if you were from Wales.
That would just be a case of being ignorant, as was Freek.
And yeah, it's normal to be upset or even offended by others ignorance.
I'm white, of a christian background, and I speak fluent English. I wouldn't want to be called American because of that.
And furthermore, in regards to your example, accents are at least a better means of judging someones nationality.
Irish doesn't sound like Welsh.
But both countries speak English. Freek didn't say "oh, she speaks Spanish with a mexican accent".
so its inconsiderate to not know where people are from so that you dont get it wrong?
It's not inconsiderate to not know. It's not even inconsiderate to ask.
It's inconsiderate to presume to know someones nationality and then comment on it when you do not know.
