Objective

Where Are You From? is a non-linear web-based experience where the users are given two options to choose from and have to choose the “right” option in order to get out of the loop. I think it is better not to reveal the way out for you, as a first-time user, to have a raw experience and take away what I wished users would.

Research

The career intelligence analyst with expertise in hostage policy was an Asian-American woman born in Manhattan, New York City.

So, when she was initially asked where she was from, she replied “New York”. Yet, the president was not satisfied and wanted to know where "your people" are from. And when she said that her parents are Korean, he asked why the "pretty Korean lady" isn't negotiating with North Korea.

“Where are you really from?” is so ludicrous a question to be asked in the 21st century that there is even a comedy skit on it. It is embarrassing that the president of a country asked such a question. Sadly, however, it is certainly not a rare experience for people of color to be asked where they are “really from”.
