An Uber driver has hung a sign in their car to get riders to quit asking where they're from.
An image of the sign found its way to social media Wednesday.
"Seen in today's Uber. Thinking of making a duplicate to hang around my neck," the tweet is captioned.

In some circles, asking someone where they're from is considered a "microagression" and "othering." Some people say the question makes them "uncomfortable."
Not everybody shares this viewpoint, however.
The profile of the Twitter user, Raksha Vasudevan, who championed the sign ironically identifies as "Indian-Canadian" in her Twitter bio.
Per her social media, Vasudevan is a journalist who has written for The New York Times, VICE, and other left-leaning outlets.
Some areas of the country are reportedly taking these "microagressions" very seriously. One Portland-area business committed to a three-week-long closure of their storefront so employees could undergo racial sensitivity training.
