Default How do people usually react when you tell them where you are from?

So I was looking on twitter and a tweet was like

Where you from?

Essex

Oh so you know Joey Essex and the cast of Towie.

So I was just wondering when you tell them where you are from , has anyone ever said anything like that.

I got an "Oh really? You don't look like... You look totally Caucasian" from someone in Borehamwood last year
Yes, we tend to look European and we don't ride camels

Or even in my own country, when strangers start speaking to me in Russian/Ukrainian, because they assume I'm one too (I guess because of my Romanian-Polish roots).

Being Scottish all you ever get is warm admiration or bitter jealousy if the person is unfortunately English
