For a long time, when I went into a bodega and the clerk asked me “¿De dónde eres?” or “where is your family from?” or “are you from _____?” I’d get nervous, like “why do you want to know?” Now I realize it’s almost always asked with a smile. They’re usually trying to ‘in-group’ me. To connect. I love this city. #immigrantnation #immigrantny #immigrantswegetthejobdone #immigrantnyc (at New York, New York)
