No, they cannot tell by looking but they like to try and guess. Most likely some features are similiar to their own, so they seem to attempt to find out if I am from a neighbouring country of theirs. Most specifically I think they really mean what culture were I am born into when they say where are you from. Also I find most often it is a foreigner doing the asking, meaning they themselves were born in some other country  than the country they are currently living in. I was born in the country I currently live in (Canada), yet I am faced with the questions weekly "Where Are you From". I get the questions because I have dark toned skin (Italian).  My appearance can be whatever country is currently at war, or Italian, Greek ect.\nWhat a pity!

You CAN specify the country/region you want answers from. Unfortunately, many people do not pay attention to that and will answer it from countries or regions other than where you asked to reply.

Because we smell nice?  LOL!  Because I am proud of my country and of being an American.  How would it look if I treated our visitors like crap?  It's no sweat off my butt if you want to come to my country and live.  We are the melting pot.  We all came from somewhere else and guess what?  Some of our most incredibly beautiful people here are all the result of mixed races.  I am friendly because I feel that I was blessed to be born here and I don't mind sharing the wealth this beautiful country has to offer.

Good question! But do you really want to know?..\n\nI'm from Australia. Not Austria, AUSTRALIA. Aka 'the land down under'. You know, that place Elle McPherson came from.\nSorry ;)\nAmericans (from the US) don't seem to have a clue where our country is or even seem to care. It seems that Americans think they are the centre of the universe and they have the right to go tell other countries what to do. - Granted, this is probably a minority view (at least I hope so!) but it is what has stuck in the minds of many people here.\nOne thing that has inflenced my view is what an American woman said to my friend's wife while visiting the US:\na.w. - "So do you have computers back home?"\nfriend - "Com- what?" (making a sarcastic joke)\na.w. - "Oh, don't worry. I've noticed that as far away from America you travel, the more backwards the countries are." (didn't realise the joke & stuck her fat arrogant foot in her mouth)\n\nSo yeah, my opinion of Americans isn't too great. I'm not saying all are like that, but it only takes a few to ruin it for everyone.
