    I would also be frustrated if I had been born in a country and still the country refused to accept me as a citizen.

    On the other hand, it could be that when they look surprised it is just because they assume a black person will be from somewhere in Africa, but not because they don't want you there.

    I think you would be equally surprised if some Scandinavian looking person in Nigeria told you, I'm from Nigeria!, you would probably think, OK, but your parents or grandparents weren't, and it would surprise you. You would know this person became Nigerian though some kind of immigration.

    I'm not defending them, I haven't lived there. I'm just saying that maybe it is just surprise without negativity.
